Højdepunkter

Explore Calgary's Bow River at your own pace on an 8 km, self-guided audio tour you can walk or bike. Allow about 2.5–3 hours for 31 narrated points of interest, from the Peace Bridge and Prince's Island Park to The Confluence (formerly Fort Calgary), Inglewood and Harvie Passage. Your smartphone's GPS triggers the stories as you go, while a live route map shows where you are and what comes next. Download the tour before setting out for offline use, pause whenever you like, and return to it later—there is no in-person guide or fixed schedule. The route is mainly outdoors, with exterior and pass-by views of landmarks; admission and interior access are separate. Check current pathway conditions and follow signed detours, as riverside construction or seasonal closures may affect individual segments without preventing you from enjoying the tour.

About Calgary

Calgary is the Alberta city where the prairies meet the Rocky Mountain foothills, a place of rodeo traditions, river pathways and big-sky sunshine.

Calgary sits on the Bow and Elbow rivers, with the snowy Rockies visible to the west on clear days. The Calgary Tower, from 1968, is the older landmark of a skyline now crowded with glass towers, and Fort Calgary marks the Mounted Police post that started the town in 1875. Prince's Island Park and the curving Peace Bridge are favourite spots along the river, and Heritage Park recreates an early prairie settlement.

Top-ranked sights in Calgary: Calgary Tower, Wonderland Sculpture, Calgary Stampede.
