City Information
Calgary



Originally an outpost for the mounted police, Calgary has recently transformed into a commercial powerhouse and a top-tier destination for visitors of Canada. That said, the city’s rural traces are still quite prominent, making it a great spot for everyone. One of the most iconic destinations in the city is the WinSport Canada Olympic Park, which is a tribute to the 1988 Winter Olympics. Interested travelers could take up ski lessons here, or they can simply stroll around Canada’s Sports Hall of Fame, which houses the largest collection in the competition’s history. Another great destination you should check out is the Glenbow Museum, which features amazing collections on the First Nations as well as military memorabilia. If you simply want to stroll around and enjoy a good view, Prince's Island Park, with tree-lined trails, will also be a great choice.
Its nickname Cowtown is true: Alberta beef is the staple local specialty. If you are looking for a bite of this amazing delicacy, head over to Silver Inn Restaurant. Another great local favorite is cheese buns from Glamorgan Bakery, which sells out quite quickly.
The main bus station in Calgary is the Downtown Greyhound Station located at 850 16 St SW. It is served by several leading bus carriers, including Greyhound, Cold Shot, Ebus, Rider Express and Red Arrow. The city currently does not have a dedicated intercity rail service. The city’s main airport is the Calgary International Airport, which is located northeast of the city itself.
Surrey



Forming a vital chunk of the Metro Vancouver Area, Surrey refuses to be overshadowed by its larger neighbors and is well worth visiting in its own right. A visit to Historic Stewart Farm, one of the city's most popular attractions, reveals Surrey’s rich agricultural heritage—a heritage maintained through today, with over 35% of the city classified as Agricultural Land Reserve. Surrey is also equipped with urban comforts, including museums, annual festivals, and a thriving art scene on display at Surrey Art Gallery or in the wealth of public art around the city. Coastal walks along Crescent Beach make for a great summer activity, while Surrey's vast network of bike trails cater to the more active adventurer.
Surrey has a vibrant culinary culture reflecting the mix of ethnicities in the city’s population. Stop by the Morgan Heights district for some of the region's best Middle-Eastern and South-East Asian flavors. For wine enthusiasts, Vinoscenti Vineyards in the city's green belt is a must-visit location.
With Vancouver across the Fraser River to the North and the U.S. border to the South, Surrey is well-placed for national and international transport links. Bus, rail, and ferry networks provide regional transit while three nearby international airports serve those traveling further afield.
