Climb the Calgary Tower and enjoy the view

The Calgary Tower is the city’s landmark and offers you a 360-degree view over Calgary and the surrounding region. At a height of 191 metres, the viewing platform is the perfect place to take in the skyline, the prairie and the Rocky Mountains. A special highlight is the glass floor. Do you dare to walk across the glass and look straight down into the depths?

From above you can not only see the entire city, but also admire famous sights such as the Saddledome and the Bow River from a completely new perspective. On clear days the view stretches all the way to the snow-covered peaks of the Rockies. The Calgary Tower also offers interactive displays that tell you more about the history of the city and the surrounding landscapes.

It’s best to plan your visit for dusk, when the city lights start to come on and the setting sun bathes the Rockies in a breathtaking play of colours. The tower is in the heart of downtown and is easy to reach on foot, by public transport or by car.
