Best Time to Visit

The months going from June to September are the ones during which most of the city's events take place, like the famous Calgary Stampede and the firework show of GlobalFest. Summertime is also when Calgary is most crowded and accommodation prices peak though, so booking in advance is advised. If you're into winter sports, the period between November and February is the best choice to visit the nearby Rocky Mountains and go skiing down its slopes. This is also when most of the locals leave in search of warmer climates, leaving the city in a quieter state where the prices on rooms are also lower. If you prefer to have the city all to yourself and aren't really into winter sports, the autumn and spring seasons are your best bets: lower accommodation prices and tourist influx couple with mild temperatures to give you the ideal setting for exploring Calgary's neighborhoods. Just be mindful of bringing warm clothes with you, as the weather can be quite unpredictable with its sudden snowfalls.
