Grab some coffee and baked goodies from Phil & Sebastian Coffee Roasters, or Sidewalk Citizen Bakery (both located at the Simmons Building), and then go sightseeing!

Visit The Confluence Historic Site & Parkland

The Confluence Historic Site & Parkland is the birthplace of the city of Calgary, although it was an important location even before the city was established. It is the site where the North West Mounted Police first built a fort at the confluence of the Bow and Elbow Rivers. 

The purpose of the fort was to provide law and order in Western Canada, but it also became a hub for trade, commerce, culture, and exploration.

In 2024, the site was officially renamed from Fort Calgary to The Confluence Historic Site & Parkland to properly encompass all the history of the area, including Indigenous history.

This site is a great visit if you wish to know more about Calgary’s past. You can see a replica of the 1888 fort and learn more about its history, along with permanent exhibitions on Indigenous culture. There are several buildings on the grounds, including the fort, a museum, a Métis cabin, a gift shop, and craft workshops.

For those who wish to explore further, The Confluence site offers a variety of guided tours. These range from historical walking tours to self-guided audio tours, allowing visitors to learn more about this amazing site.

There is an entry fee to visit the observation tower that also has a glass floor! The ground floor has a souvenir store and informative exhibits – this part of the Calgary Tower is free to enter and explore.

Heritage Park

Heritage Park Historical Village is a living history museum and park in Calgary. This heritage park is one of the most visited sites in Canada. Many of the buildings are historical and were transported to be preserved in the park.

Visitors are welcomed by people in historic costumes and antique automobiles, including horse-drawn vehicles. That’s the Heritage Park for you – educational, yet fun!
