I first visited this nice, modern city in autumn 2021, shortly after travel to Canada had reopened after the pandemic. Calgary is the largest city of the oil-rich province of Alberta, and a gateway to the beautiful Canadian Rocky Mountains nearby. I spent a few days here admiring the vibrant urban scene and then visited the mountain parks separately. The photos below show the city skyline and downtown areas, also glimpses of the surrounding mountain foothills.

Below are scenes from the major universities in the area: SAIT (Southern Alberta Institute of Technology) and University of Calgary.

Meats in Alberta are especially good, and no visit here is complete without a nice steak in wild berry sauce!
