Calgary Travel Guide

Alberta, Canada

Calgary is a city of 1,639,613 people in Alberta, Canada. It uses Mountain Time and sits inland, rather than on the coast, so it is best approached as an urban base for exploring the surrounding Alberta region.

Most visitors arrive by air at Calgary International Airport (YYC), the airport serving the city. There are no notable named beaches within 40 kilometres of Calgary, so beach trips are not a central part of a stay here.
