Calgary's largest mall, this complex can accommodate almost any shopping need you have. Anchored by The Bay, Zellers and Sears, the mall boasts more than 200 retail shops, a number of restaurants, and a food court that has a merry-go-round, sculptures, and suspended flying machines. Banana Republic, Eddie Bauer, Gap and Bombay Company are among the stores represented.

This brightly-colored, industrial-looking complex is a favorite of Calgarians, especially since it's located so close to downtown and Prince's Island Park.

You can also buy wines, fresh produce and gourmet foods from vendors in the center. At any given time, entertainers perform for the crowds, adding a fun ambience to the place. A good destination for the whole family.

Recognized as one of Calgary's original neighborhoods, this charming district is home to many of the city's historic attractions.

Inglewood is also an ideal stop if you'd like to wander the side streets on a sunny afternoon and perhaps pick up something unusual to take back home.

Close to downtown, this district is part of a beautiful neighborhood that offers a wealth of dining and shopping opportunities.

Stylish boutiques offer creative fashions, books, toys, crafts, and even athletic equipment. Spend a morning here and see the terrific goods they offer.

Located in an historic building in the middle of downtown, this shopping center gets plenty of foot traffic. Of course, that's not surprising given the terrific shops that inhabit the space.
