The peace bridge is one of my favourite architectural attractions in Calgary. It’s colour, lighting and shape always seem to draw me in to wanting to take ‘just one more photo’ of the landmark. Usually, while likely strolling by the Bow River between downtown and the Sunnyside/Kensington neighbourhoods for a late afternoon cup of tea. Between the bridge itself, the skyline vistas and river below I just keep coming back here as one of my favourite destinations when wandering Calgary.
I’ve spent a considerable amount of time downtown in the heart of Calgary and have grown rather fond of it. Between my commutes to the office, aimless wandering adventures on the weekends and late nights with friends shopping or playing food critic at the local restaurants I find myself drawn to the energy of the busy streets.
There are lots of places to grab a late brunch or bougie coffee, devour some Alberta beef or consume more dumpings/tacos/cupcakes than is recommended by the food guide and your doctors alike. Nom. There’s even a garden in our high end downtown shopping centre, what’s not to love?
