Calgary is a city of a little more than one million residents. While it's full of natural beauty and a broad range of big-city attractions, the capital of Alberta is most famous for its annual Calgary Stampede—a 10-day western-themed event that includes everything from rodeos and carnival rides to concerts featuring world-famous bands and artists. Thanks to the Stampede, the city is known for its western charm and fun-loving lifestyle. But that's not all, as Calgary is full of hidden gems that keep the locals entertained year-round.
