Our Re<strong>com</strong>mendation for Alberta<br />

Calgary<br />

Drumheller<br />

Banff National Park<br />

Jasper National Park<br />

The largest city in the state and known for hosting the<br />

1988 Winter Olympics as well as the annual Calgary<br />

stampede. The city is pleasant and offers much in the<br />

way of good quality restaurants, bars, and shopping<br />

venues. Considered a good base to explore the<br />

surrounding areas.<br />

A dinosaur lovers dream, Drumheller is a seasonal<br />

destination that draws visitors interested in paleontology.<br />

The rich deposit of fossils found in the area means the city’s<br />

museum of Paleontology is one of the best in the world.<br />

Without a doubt the most popular destination, not just in<br />

Alberta but all of Canada, and a UNESCO World Heritage<br />

Site. Much of what people associate with Alberta in terms<br />

of its ruggedness, wilderness, and natural beauty, can be<br />

traced back to the Banff National Park.<br />

The Park shares its name with the main resort town, one<br />

of two populated areas in the park, which is often the first<br />

stop for many adventurers.<br />

The northern neighbor of the Banff National Park, it gets<br />

fewer visitors due to accessibility and weather conditions,<br />

however it’s no less stunning. Jasper is much bigger in size<br />

than Banff, is less populated, and less <strong>com</strong>mercialised.<br />

Making it a preferred choice for those looking for a more<br />

solitary experience.<br />
