I would recommend Reader Rock Garden across the Erlton Station and Stampede Ground. You’ll not see it right away if you’re just passing by the road except for the huge sign. It’s a garden that I always go to every summer. The former house of Reader was turned into a restaurant. Beside the garden is the Union Cemetery which offer free guided tour if you want to hear about the pioneers and history of Calgary. Also joined the Jane’s Walk for free tours in different parts of the City. I joined the Gay History and East Village Walking Tour in the spring and would love to do it annually.
That's a great recommendation! I've always wanted to wander around the rock garden but haven't made the time. The walking tour sounds so great too! Thank you ☺️
Could yu plzz give information regarding ciot clg Like where it's located and how's the lifestyle Can I get the accommodation easy or not I really wanna know If yu know then plzz give information
Videos like these are always so weird, cause I'll be seeing people talk about these landmarks and I'll think, "dang, I live like 15 minutes away from this place." Despite living in Calgary my whole life I never really stop to think about these neat locations that I take for granted.
That's amazing! It makes sense since it's one of the most livable cities in the world, tied for #3 I think. The only real downside is the weather in winter in my opinion!
I am seriously thinking about moving to Calgary. I lived for in Toronto for 17 years and have moved to Fredericton 7 months ago and this town is nor for me. I need something more exciting
Calgary is an awesome city! Not as much hustle and bustle as Toronto but it does come to life when the weather is nice. The city is investing a lot of money in the downtown area too. I love it!
@hanninencraig this really depends more on your social group than the city. Areas like 17th Ave and Stephen Ave are bustling and very busy with nightlife (especially in summer). We have lots of music fests like Sled Island, Chasing Summer and Folk Fest. I agree though, places like Toronto or Vancouver have much more to do but you'll pay a hefty price for it.
Cool! I was looking for somewhere, I'm bringing some students from Japan, we can chill out free. btw, I'm a Japanese TH-camr visiting Calgary in this August.
I recently arrived in Canada as PR and temporarily based in Saskatchewan. But I'm thinking about moving to Calgary or Toronto soon. Kinda torn between the two options.
I'm from Ontario (Ottawa) and think Alberta is far superior. Higher pay, lower taxes! Calgary is also MUCH more affordable than Toronto. Just my personal opinion, I'm not a fan of Toronto.
@@brittanymorgan09 thank you, Brittany for your opinion. I'm also looking into Calgary for exactly the same reasons. Only thing that makes me think twice about Calgary is cold weather 😂 in Saskatchewan I have endured my first brutal winter season. But it was very hard.
@@LifeofHum After living in Ontario for over 20 years and Calgary for about 8 I will say Calgary winters are much better. We get chinooks and this year we've had a lot (warm winds roll in and it's 0-15 Celsius for a week or two). The cold does come, but it's dry and in snaps. Ontario gets humid cold where its -30 and feels like -45. So they are no stranger to the cold weather!
If you'll be staying downtown Calgary, walking is a good option or the CTrain! The CTrain is free in the downtown core and pretty inexpensive if you need to go out of it. Taking an electric scooter like Neuron can be really fun too.
I don't know of any outdoor pools in Calgary but there is a hotel pool that anyone can use at Hotel Arts in the Beltline - I think it's about $25/pp. It's not something I'd do, but a great option for swimming in warmer water! Otherwise, we get our fix for cooling down in the summer by floating the Elbow and Bow Rivers (though they are incredibly cold).
Parking downtown can be difficult but you can usually find a spot on the street or a parkade. There's lots of free spots to park on the weekend but it can be pricey during the week depending on where you park. I'd check out Park Plus, those are the zones we always try to find. They have an app and you can do everything on your phone or use a pay station. I hope that helps! Thanks ☺️
@@Thumper17 Ah okay fair enough. Personally, I try to never go out at night alone in ANY city. There's always safety in numbers and sticking to the busier areas of Calgary at night is best.
I haven't been there, will have to check it out once I'm back in Calgary! I really only wanted to include things to do in the downtown core in this video but your suggestions give me ideas for future videos! Thanks!
Do you mean how to get to Banff from Calgary? You could rent a car and drive (about 1.5 hrs) or I believe there are charter buses that will take you there from downtown Calgary.
Very exciting! I hope you love Calgary. Working as a server in a bar or restaurant would be the easiest way to make a lot of money. Tipping is big in Canada and that's why a lot of servers make big paycheques for fewer shifts.
I would like to answer my question.. I am a citizen from Algeria and I want to live with my family in calgary.. I'm specialize in breeding birds. Is there work in this field? (Zoo or bird breeding shops) and does certificate higher degrees in this field??
Hello! I'm not sure, I don't have any knowledge or experience in that area but there is a zoo in Calgary that has birds and some wildlife rehab centres for wild birds. Maybe reach out to those places and see what they require/if they're hiring!
I've never had any issues with Uber in Calgary but I haven't lived there in over a year now. I'm moving back in a couple of months so stay tuned for some updates!

I would check out Kijiji for jobs or Indeed! That's what we used when we lived there. Kijiji has more casual type work so would be a great place to start if you're looking to get in without residency.
Yes. Lots of people enjoy walking around neighbourhoods. Especially when travelling or deciding to move to a new city. My partner and I do it all the time.
I guess it's a bit strange to have something like the Devonian gardens in a shopping mall but maybe that's why it's accessible, the mall pays for it and maintains it.
Check out the bird sanctuary in East Village too!
Great suggestion!
@@brittanymorgan09 I need work to Canada plzz help me I am a Professional worker so my document is ready????
Good video, thanks for not having annoying music!
I took my mom to the revolving restaurant on top of the Calgary tower for mother's day. Was so awesome and wonderful.
Sounds so lovely! The view up there is just amazing 😍
@@brittanymorgan09 born and raised. I was 5, when the Calgary Tower was completed
@@brittanymorgan09 where are you originally from?
I would add Fish Creek Provincial Park, Riley Park and Baker Park...
Nose Hill Park, Bowness Park
Thank you for your recommendation
I got a touch about Calgary
Nice job! I've lived in lots of cities, but will always consider Calgary home. Now that I'm back, I hope I'm here forever.
That's amazing! I live in New Zealand at the moment and am actually really looking forward to returning to Calgary. It's such a great city!
I would recommend Reader Rock Garden across the Erlton Station and Stampede Ground. You’ll not see it right away if you’re just passing by the road except for the huge sign.

Yes beautiful in spring, summer, and fall! Has a lot of different plant species that are hard to find in the province!
Please note it is not accessible (rock stairs and little dirt paths)

Coming in 2 weeks for Otafest 2023 from the USA. 20 years since my last trip to Canada (2003; Montreal), looking forward to it.
Awesome! I hope you have a blast 👍
Great video, very informative. Thank you
Glad it was helpful! Cheers
I live in the us, but I really love Canada. I want to move there someday ❤ 🇨🇦
@@germanshepherd6638 don’t do it, it’s a trap. You’re better off there, currently 🤦🏻♀️☠️💯
I used to deliver to the River Cafe.

It's awesome to be a tourist in your own city! You get to see so much you'd never think of checking out. Highly recommend 👍
Nice video. Moving next month to Calgary from Montreal.
Awesome! I hope you love Calgary. It definitely doesn't have the same charm as Montreal, but the mountains being so close helps!
Thanks Lady!💎✨👍
Thanks for watching! 🥰
Greetings from Venezuela, I practice my listening with your channel, you speaks so fast...
Thank you for watching my videos!
Thank you so much for the comprehensive review of Calgary.
Thank you for watching!
OMG. Great review. I work in the patch, gone from my hometown 22 days a month. You make me miss it even more. Well done.
Thanks! 👍
I like your sharing😊 thank you so much
Thank you 👍
I'm from Calgary ❤ so yeah, great video!! 😝👍
Awesome! Thanks for watching!
Another nice place is the Botanical Gardens of Silver Springs. In Calgary N.W.
I haven't heard of that, thanks for the tip! I'll probably do another video at some point of things to do for free outside of downtown 🙂
Calgary population is growing pretty fast....1.7 mil already
That's amazing! It makes sense since it's one of the most livable cities in the world, tied for #3 I think. The only real downside is the weather in winter in my opinion!

Super vidéo.
Comment ça se fait que la plupart des commentaires datent d'il y a plus d'un mois alors que la vidéo est sortie il y a une semaine ?
loved to be there one day
It's a gorgeous city! Best to visit in the summer or early fall if you can.
I spent 1999 turning to 2000 in the out house at Olympic plaza lol
Thanks for the content, I enjoyed so much, in december will be my second time in Canada, and the first in Calgary. Helped a lot
Amazing! I am glad it helped. Thank you for watching 🙂
really good review. As a Core resident, I appreciated the references. =)
Thank you so much :) hopefully as the city invests in the downtown area there will be much more to do!
Good one. Keep it up🙏
Thank you so much!
My hometown
Cool!
I was looking for somewhere, I'm bringing some students from Japan, we can chill out free.

How does one go from one spot to another. Going to be in Calgary for a day before doing Banff,Jasper.
If you'll be staying downtown Calgary, walking is a good option or the CTrain! The CTrain is free in the downtown core and pretty inexpensive if you need to go out of it. Taking an electric scooter like Neuron can be really fun too.
All of the spots I mention in this video are downtown or really close to the city centre.
What about outdoor pools or swimming holes?
I don't know of any outdoor pools in Calgary but there is a hotel pool that anyone can use at Hotel Arts in the Beltline - I think it's about $25/pp. It's not something I'd do, but a great option for swimming in warmer water!

Nice 👍
Inglewood is a "Before Dark" place. As are neighbouring places.
Depends where you go! Cold Garden seems to be bumpin' at all hours. I find Calgary in general to be pretty tame after dark (except for 17th ave).
Unless you're talking about safety?
@@brittanymorgan09 Safety wise. Calgary is "safer" then most places, but it's still a big city at night.
@@Thumper17 Ah okay fair enough. Personally, I try to never go out at night alone in ANY city. There's always safety in numbers and sticking to the busier areas of Calgary at night is best.
@@brittanymorgan09 Inglewood is far from the worst area, that proud distinction belongs to Forest Lawn.
♥️♥️♥️
You forgot the Olympic museum at COP.
I haven't been there, will have to check it out once I'm back in Calgary! I really only wanted to include things to do in the downtown core in this video but your suggestions give me ideas for future videos! Thanks!
How to go 1-day trip from Calgary to Banff? Any suggestions?
Do you mean how to get to Banff from Calgary? You could rent a car and drive (about 1.5 hrs) or I believe there are charter buses that will take you there from downtown Calgary.

So downtown. Just go downtown. Great list and I’ve been to all these areas. Just keep in mind parking downtown makes none of these things free !!
There's tons of free parking downtown on the weekends :)
Also after 6pm! Most of the park plus spots have free times and days so people just need to plan ahead.
the did the devonian gardens bad. it use to be an awesome completely enclosed garden but now it's this weird odd lookin collection of things
People still go to the Core? Used to lunch there until Covid changed everything.
It's typically pretty dead in there haha but lunchtime still seems to be busy
Is this how we count free things now? Shopping malls, bar street?
Yes. Lots of people enjoy walking around neighbourhoods. Especially when travelling or deciding to move to a new city. My partner and I do it all the time.
I guess it's a bit strange to have something like the Devonian gardens in a shopping mall but maybe that's why it's accessible, the mall pays for it and maintains it.
they ruined Devonian gardens used to be so much better
That's sad to hear 😔
Turtles!
Calgary is more livable
Hilarious how everywhere you went you were surrounded by things you need to pay for.
Capitalism is alive and well 😂
i hate calgary
Neat
