- What can you do in Calgary in 48 hours? In today's Canada travel vlog, we are leaving Hotel Arts to explore and share with you guys the top things you can do in Calgary Canada. Best Affordable Hotel in Calgary: bit.ly/3JZeSZu
We rented e-scooters which makes wandering around Downtown Calgary easier and a lot of fun. We found the most insta worthy rooftop with the perfect view of the Calgary Tower. Had a warm stroll around the Devonian Gardens. And visited the iconic Calgary Tower and Peace Bridge to top off our trip.
We'll also be sharing with you guys the reason why we traveled to Calgary, that being said, let's all share this experience and explore Calgary Alberta together.

All parks in Calgary close at 11 PM (this is for safety)
im a born and raised Calgarian, im glad you enjoyed your stay in Calgary. :)
Everything was amazing! Hoping we can visit again very soon😊
I’m born and raised in Cagliari, that’s why every time people ask me if I’m Canadian 😅
Haha we can see how people get confused😅
@@NatandMax it worth a trip 😊
Where are you leaving now?
Really love to watch you guys videos !! Thank you for enjoying Calgary.
Thanks for watching!😊 Calgary was such a beautiful city❤️
Born and raised in Calgary, Thank you for making this video to show a lot of the fun spots in the city. You should definitely come during the summer, we have a lot of markets and festivals in the downtown area especially Stephens Ave that’s why it’s not as busy in the winter except for the skating rink down there.
The pleasure is ours Taylor! Theres so much beauty in the city and no doubt theres still lots to uncover✨ We’ll try next summer! We definitely want to try out some of the activities not only in downtown but also around the city😊
So fun to watch you guys always... and it was awesome to see Calgary through your lens... photos at tower were awesome
Thanks Rahat! It was a little terrifying walking on the glass floor at first but we ended up enjoying it😁
This one's great! Thanks for touring us around this lovely city! I really miss watching your videos. 😘
Pleasure is ours! Super happy to be traveling again😊❤️
amazing sound effects and visual footage with the swimming pool
Haha good thing we were the only ones in there😂 otherwise people might think we’re crazy😅
The Core actually closes early because there isn't much pedestrian traffic downtown after 6 PM! The issue is that there are isn't very large of a population in the downtown core which is a result of downtown being built up as essentially an office park from the 1960s-1980s (especially during the 1970s oil boom.) This has only just recently started to change with the residential buildout of Eau Claire (North Downtown starting in the 1990s) and the East Village (East Downtown starting in the mid 2000s) and the city has looked at diversifying the building uses because of the high office vacancy by converting older office buildings into residential.
Hey! After almost 2 months without a TV I had to catch up on your videos! They are always entertaining and well made!
First of all, WELCOME to Canada!🇨🇦 And second of all thank you for always watching😊❤️
you guys are living life to the max congrats!
Thanks!🙌 Always live life to the fullest!💯

Anytime Rohan! Thanks for always watching!❤️❤️❤️
Awesome video again Nat and Max! Calgary seems to be a cool city.😄
Thanks Robbie!❤️ Felt super lucky that we got to explore the city before all the new restrictions came in due to the new variant
All the malls in Calgary are actually open until 9pm on week days and only on Saturday and Sundays do they close by 5 or 6pm.
Ah thanks for the info! We’ll save this for next time😊
Loved it as always.. happy holidays guys..stay safe ..

@@NatandMax I can see that through your vlogs about Calgary! It's definitely a plus to travel after a long while! Oh for sure, that would be great! Im gonna show you all the good spots of Toronto for you both! As always, take care and stay safe! Peace!
That would be amazing. Which season is best if we wanted to visit Toronto? 🙂
@@NatandMax Honestly, all seasons are great, but if you want a full experience, I'd say summer, cause then, there will be more things to do!
We’ll keep that in mind! We’re starting to plan out our 2022😊
Born in Calgary, Raised in Philippines, And currently live in Calgary, Calgary is a BEAUTIFUL place! And Calgary Tower is amazing but I never went to but it’s very beautiful. Thank you for visiting Calgary!
Glad to see fellow Filipinos enjoying Calgary😊🇵🇭 We couldn’t agree more! Calgary is such a unique place and we would love to come back one of these days❤️
Fun times!! Awesome job with the video and exploration!!

Woohoo! It’ll be a great time😊 Hoping we could also visit Vegas this year🙌
Awesome video! Since I just moved I know things to do!. Keep this dam content up.
Welcome to Calgary! Glad you appreciated the video!😊
@NatandMax I moved away from vancouver because it's so expensive and dangerous. The homelessness is annoying.
You must visit banff and where heartbeat was filmed and go to the jewish cafe for breakfast and go to the olympic park, go to nicks steak house and go to the big mall and get cinnamon buns and also go to get pizza and go swimming at the big posh hotel in banff and go to see where cool runnings was filmed and also go for food at the irish pub in the city and see the hospital and see silver springs area and go to the saddledome there is many more things to do in calgary
Very beautiful places! Like from Palma de Mallorca 👍
Thank you! 😊 Wow hope to visit Palma de Mallorca one day 😍
Great video! Who sings the Gloria in Excelsis Deo? 5:33
Wow! Cant wait to visit Calgary. Great content guys. Btw, which hotel did you stay?
Hi Rayne!👋 Thanks for watching! We stayed at Hotel Arts in downtown Calgary😊
My sister lives here, I live in England
Excited to visit!!!!
It’s going to be an epic vacation once you do!😊🙌
Thanks for visiting my home town ☺️ born and raised
We had an amazing time😊 Can’t wait to go back🙌
When you go to the glass floor at the tower, Dave was like, I've seen Squid Game... Max's fears are legit! 😂 I've eaten at the Calgary tower resturant a couple times, but we've never been to the Vancouver tower either! I bet it has gorgeous views!
My favourite is the park sequence 😆 Super cute and fun!
Don’t tell me you still haven’t seen squid game Amy?😂
We booked a dinner at the Top of Vancouver this coming Christmas. Hope it’s as pretty as the Calgary tower😊✨
Us too! Good thing no one was there😂 People might have thought we’re crazy
@@NatandMax I have now seen squiggly games! I swore to stop watching after a certain episode upset me greatly... but I made it to the end 😅
I forgot there's a resturant in the Harbour centre as well! Hope you post a video or photo letting us know how you like it! We're back up around New Years and I'll have to add it to my long list of things I want to do!
Haha it was too good to not finish😅
Absolutely! We’re planning on a small Christmas series around Vancouver and that’ll be part of it😊 We still have to meet you guys in person😅
@@NatandMax Yay Christmas vlog!! 🙌 Definitely looking forward to it! Lumagica looks like a fun new event, though it's out in Cloverdale.
It'd be lovely to meet you guys 😊 Next time we're up we'll let you know and see if you're around (and if you are feeling more comfortable with the covid stuff!).
And BTW, in case you are planning a trip to Seattle/Jollibee, Dave's dad drove down from Vancouver yesterday to visit for the day, and had no trouble with the border (and didn't need to take a test).
Sure thing! Oh yes, we’re planning a short trip with Nat’s Dad down there. We’ll maybe DM you to get more info on how was the experience from Dave’s dad😊
Great video, subscribed 👍
Thank you! Welcome to the fam!😊
Great video guys, you missed the opportunity of being in the great outdoors and having a great bbq🔥👍
Thanks mate! Any recommendations for a good spot for when we come back? 🙂
@@NatandMax there are some great natural areas just to the south west of the city and even within the city you have fish creek park which is awesome. Or drop me a line and i take you around, i’m in black diamond (SW of Calgary).
Thank you for the recos! We’ll keep that in mind when we come back to the city😊
Next time come back in the summer time and we can take you fly fishing / sight seeing / on the bow river 🙌🏽
That would be amazing! Heard theres a lot more things you can do in the summer❤️ Can’t wait to visit again😊
What kind of fishes are there?
Great video 😊📸
Thank you!😊❤️
It looks like a nice city. It looks lovely and beautiful.
It is! Love staying in downtown Calgary❤️
@@NatandMax Have you seen a hockey game of the Calgary flames?
@@NatandMax what about the hart dungeon house
@@hectorlopez1069 unfortunately we haven’t would love to go tho! We heard it’s pretty wild😁
Are there any of those scooters at the airport? I've got a few hour-long layover coming up and I want to explore on the cheap! Thanks for the informative and fun video!
Not sure tbh. I’m guessing they would only have it downtown to reduce people commuting🙂 But I’d check their app. They should have locations of the scooters on there
The airport is basically situated on the outskirts of Calgary. The only way to commute is by way of a inner-city freeway known as Deerfoot Trail aka Highway #2.. You would have to be crazy to try and ride a scooter on the freeway!
welcome to Calgary 🇨🇦
Thank you! We had such a great time!❤️
Great video guys may I ask what's the name of the parking spot?
Hey thanks Jerry! The parkade is called High Park 🙂
which hotel did you booked at calgary
I never been to Canada in my life. I want to go and visit that country, some day.
You’ll be in for a treat!🎉 Canada is rich in natural beauty🇨🇦 Always thankful to call this place home❤️
You need tongo skiing and see the bobsledding track and go and see the christmas lights at the zoo and go to calgary winter club
You are lucky with the extremely mild weather. Tonight it will hit -40c, or lower.
Oh no! Make sure to stay warm and toasty tonight😬 It’s pretty cold where we are right now too.
@@NatandMax You guys are not getting used to -20c on the west coast. Keep warm as well.
This is surreal I've lived here for years and I haven't seen some of these
Glad we could share them with you! We’re sure you know some pretty cool spots in the city yourself😊
Great for you to visit my home base. Next time when you pop into Calgary, check out Princes Island Park it is really close to the peace bridge. Also, there is a cute cafe called Angels cafe in Edworthy Park. Glad you enjoyed yourself.
Thanks for the recommendations Brandon! We have a feeling we’ll be back real soon and your recommendations would come in handy❤️
Devonian is used by a lot of pros. Thats why the permits.
Downtown malls close early compared to suburban malls.
hi i am niko from berlin. i want ask the name of the hotel in the video thank you
Hi Niko!👋 They are called Hotel Arts and highly recommend staying with them when you're visiting Calgary😊 Here's a link to their Tripadvisor page: bit.ly/3JZeSZu
Very beautiful this video l wesh visit canada from Algeria
Thank you! Come visit soon!🇨🇦
I was born and raised in Calgary, then moved to Vancouver for 15 years and moved back 2 years ago Vancouver was way too expensive to live in. I tried filming in a Calgary mall to and was told by security I wasn't allowed to. I didn't even know about the rooftop park.
Yea apparently you need a permit especially if you have a large camera.
Thanks for watching! Glad we could share the rooftop park with you😊 Happy New Year!🥳
Nice, did you notice a big difference in expense when you moved back to calgary, I grew in vancouver all my life and with gas at 2.33 a litre, I'm ready to move out of this horrible city, Calgary seems like a very nice place
Go Calgary!
Wohoo!🙌🇨🇦
u dont know how fast i clicked bcs I'm a calgarian and have never been so inspired
Aww glad we could share our moments with you😊 We love your city and we can’t wait to visit again❤️
Hi guys, love the informative vlog we are heading to Calgary this week. What was the hotel you stayed in called?
Hi Scott! Glad you liked it!😊 They’re called Hotel Arts and Hotel Arts Kensington😊
My ex lives in Calgary and I loved visiting that city. I hope to visit again one day even if it means that I am single now. 😂
Haha we felt it😂 Don’t worry we’re sure you’ll find the one right for you!❤️ Who knows she might be from Calgary again too😄
First Like 👍
Right on! You even beat us😁Thanks for watching!❤️
@@NatandMax 😅😅It's so relaxing whenever I watch your videos..Keep up the good work 💪
Aww thank you! Super happy we get to share our moments with you❤️
Calgary is so butiful
Can’t agree more!❤️
*ONLY ...* the downtown stores/malls close early. The other malls (like Chinook) are open much later. 🇨🇦
Oh thats good to know! We’ll keep that in mind for when we visit again😊 Thank you!
@@NatandMax
▪︎▪︎▪︎
Pre-Pandemic they were open until 9:00 pm Monday to Friday, usually to 7:00 pm on Saturday and until 5:00 pm on Sunday.
▪︎▪︎▪︎
Most major malls in Calgary have _websites_ which list their daily hours as well as the stores/services they offer.
What kind of job do you have that allows you to work from a computer?
Hi Waylin! I have a tech job🙂
Hello my new friend, nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you too!😊
Music listing please?
Calgary is the fastest growing tech, finance, logistics and film industry hub.
That’s amazing 🙌🏻 Also heard its the best city to move to this year
Calgary needs to salt its roads 😐
@@Fake2JZ salt doesn’t work below -10C
Thanks I don’t know what to do where I live
Haha we didn't know a lot either until we visited Calgary. There are definitely tons to discover😊
@@NatandMaxheard that alberta that Edmonton and Calgary are In. Is the cheapest province.
Ahhh went to Calgary with out going to any of the great Steak houses they have there ? Next time
Unfortunately not this time. Any recommendations on which are good? 🙂
@@NatandMax hi just google and see what is your Temptation, Calgary is known world wide as one of the best beef restaurants with variety of styles , Alberta is a very large cattle producer Grass feed natural, ,
Sounds good. We’ll do that thank you😊
My city
Bike routes must be epic in the city!🚴✨
@@NatandMax i mean Motorcycle in summer and yeah i also do bicycle fishcreek to downtown 👌🏻
Oh haha sorry😂 We should’ve gotten the hint from your profile picture here on youtube😅
Born and raised and Calgary! But now I live in Japan. I watched this video because I miss it
Japan must be nice! Thats on our bucketlist😊Thanks for watching!
also go to the austrian club in calgary also these are all the top things to do in calgary
If you want to experience Calgary come during Stampede
We’re looking forward to it!🙌
what was the hotel name you stayed in calgary and how much does it cost?
They’re called Hotel Arts and we cannot recommend them enough😊 One of the best boutique hotels in Calgary. The price depends on the date you go, but you can check them out here bit.ly/3xLfjUU
Very good Vlog, i enjoyed it, you have motivated me more to come and to live in Calgary With my wife and my daughter.
From France
That’s awesome! Calgary is a beautiful city and we’re sure you’re going to love it too when you do live there😊❤️
Love this vlog .. what is the name of the hotel you stayed at
Thanks Shefali!😊 They are called Hotel Arts. Here is a link to them🙂 bit.ly/3xLfjUU
Highly recommend a stay with them👌
if you're using a phone recording a selfie video, it's fine. The moment you bring a Canon, Sony or a Nikon camera facing you, there's an issue lol it's just interesting
Haha the sad reality🥲 but it’s fine we were still able to capture the moment😊
Hello. What month is this vlog? Thanks!
It was at the end of November🙂
I'm so sorry you had to come to Calgary
Next time go just up that staircase to crescent heights and you'll see all of downtown
Oh we haven’t heard about that, we’ll keep that in mind for next time!😊 Thanks!
What hotel did you stay?
We stayed at Hotel Arts🙂
The people of Calgary use the +15s in the winter so they dont have to walk around in the cold.
That makes sense🙂 We wouldn’t want to be in the cold either🥶
Its quite ingenious, if you live in certain places downtown you never have to go outside. And thats lovely when its -47 with the wind chill
are the scooters free
Unfortunately not. They are cheap though for short distances. You’ll have to pay and activate it through the app 🙂
I lived in this city for 13 years and it was a frozen wasteland that was boring and dead most of the time. Also, did I mention the -30/-40C windchills during winter months and nothing to do but stay indoors to the extreme weather?
Skiing, snowboarding, Restaurants, movies, going to Banff, ext…
@@glynisorea5276 It depends.
In terms for city people like myself, Calgary’s architecture, road infrastructure, public transportation, arts and cultural events is pretty bad, soulless and bland. Especially compared to major European and Asian cities, New York City and even Toronto/Montreal.
As for skiing/snowboarding and hiking, the rocky mountains in Colorado, the Swiss/Austrian alps or the fjords of Norway/Iceland seems more interesting and offer a lot more cultural events than Alberta.
For restaurants, there are way better restaurants with better food quality in major European and Asian cities and New York/LA.
Bottom point is that Calgary (or Alberta in general) is just mediocre and boring in general for me.
@@mikepatrick454
I thought that Mike, after growing up in Calgary. I left right after school, at 22 and moved to Toronto. Good as a young person, who wants to live in a box, make lousy money, and take transit to crowded spaces. One can tolerate it when young. I also worked in the U.S. for many years. Same thing. Big dirty cities, one can tolerate when young. I could only look at a building once and moved on. And unsafe, high crime, etc.
Infrastructure.......the best in Canada and it continues to improve. A rapid transit system, the envy of much larger cities. And an airport that is one of the largest in Canada and great services.
As for Europe, once again, Expensive. Sure its nice to visit and been literally hundreds of times. But to live there.......
Returning to Calgary, over a decade ago, I could afford to buy a home, have disposable income, to go where ever I wanted from a huge airport that services Canada, 50 cities in the U.S., central America, Europe and Asia.
Calgary bland, soulless and cultural events that are bad..........I do not know what you are talking about. There is enough cultural events to satisfy people who come from all over the world that now call Calgary home.
And your criticism of Winter....... There is a reason why Calgary is a Winter Olympic Host city. Some of the world s best is located an hour away. I have skied for decades in many places. They are nice, but to be able to leave home and one hour later have world class skiing, hiking, and the best recreational facilities in the country right in Calgary, your comments have little merit.
Perhaps you need to get out a bit more. Calgary is a great city.
Which hotel did u book in downtown Calgary?
We stayed with Hotel Arts😊 bit.ly/3JZeSZu
17:23 I subscribed!
Thank you for subscribing! Welcome to the fam!😊❤️
What hotel is that?
They’re called Hotel Arts 😊 They’re in downtown Calgary
Beautiful Calgary . CN is charging 100 bugs 😢 . Its just 18 dollars alberta people living their life ❤
Both towers look amazing though😊❤️
I like calgary
That’s awesome! We like it too😊
Wait? They were not going to let you near the Devonian Gardens with a camera? Unfortunately I think you just ran into a mean person. Never had issues with cameras there. It's what the place is meant for.
Haha maybe😅 That’s okay. Good thing we had a backup camera😊 Saw other people filming there too but they were using their phones.
@@NatandMax yeah, sorry that really surprised me. It's been a few years since I have been there, so perhaps things have changed.
Calgary is cool but Devonian Garden is really overrated
I live in Calgary😊
That’s awesome!😊 Looking forward to visiting again❤️
I work in that building next to high park. We call it the narcist mile. Seriously do those people not think people can see them.
Downtown where you were in Calgary, most everything closes early!!! Everyone lives outside of downtown in the suburbs!!!!!
The most densely populated area of Calgary is known as the Beltline. It's basically a 5-minute walk from downtown. It's also where the Arts Hotel is located, which is where these vloggers stayed. The Beltline is made up of mostly high-rise condos and apartments. In one given a city block, there can be two thousand people residing. If you Google Search "what is the most densely populated area of Calgary?" The result will be revealed. Nothing but high rise apartments and condos for at least 25 blocks running east west, and a dozen or so blocks running from downtown southward.
I've lived in Calgary for 50 years, both the Beltline and many different suburbs.
Calgary
Lions stand guard
Protect the bridge's past
As waters rush beneath my path
Chinatown greets me
As the bus speeds past
Art is everywhere if you look up
As the crowd look down alas
Oh Calgary, how you tease me
With your complicated downtown
I walk against the crowd
A mixture of pity and proud
Name-dropping conversations
and telephone sounds
Smells of cologne and brisket
BarBQing where deals and meals meet
Not far announcements
Of the upcoming Stampede
Security stands guard
Darkened doors silent Marquis
No one blinks an eye
On this busy street
Where secrets are spoken
I have walked several miles
Yet ended up where I started
As the bells announced
the trains going past
And I followed business
clones all dressed in black
Tailored uniforms
of financial pasts
I sat down craving the beer
Announced on every corner
Not taken over by oil Barron's
long renown for their behavior
Where bankers meet
White summertime
snow flows as the
night emperor knows
And his jester pushes his cart
Bottles picked all over the park
To pay the devil what he owes
Keeps what it takes and both push
For it's stakes are high
As they are prey to the
Lord of another kind
Songs and the media don't mind
Glamorizing the lifestyle
So many addicts
in the pinpoint of an eye
It's a cat and sewer rat's game
While cops drive on by
Not seeing the quick handshakes
At the speed of rattlesnakes
Just as their venomous bites
Finds another one to die
These were not the the top thngs to do in calgary sorry you have missed the top things to do such as going to the olympic park and goingbto nicks steak house and going to the mall and going for pizza and going to the irish pub also in the city and going to the saddledome and going to the cinnamon shop at the mall and going to banff and looking around and going to the top swimming bath hotel in banff and also seeing the hospital and where heartbeat was filmed in calgary and going to the stampede and also going to the jewish cafe for breakfast in town
K
Nooo don’t wear the helmet. I got lice. Had to get shampoo treatments weekly other option was to shave my head. Glad you enjoyed the city though,
Oh noo😬 We didn’t even think about that. Hope we didn’t pick up some😕 Thanks for the caution😊
Oh man how sad to see the emptyness that has become of downtown. I hope with all the recent apartments built it will lure in more people to downtown living as a paltry 10k or so in the cbd is just abysmal..
Oh you guys didn't even listen to c0-3x
Typical city life. I live in Toronto, btw.
Also, is that a Filipino accent?
Yep! Proud Filipinos here 🇵🇭
zip
The Calgary Ghost Town
It’s a dead downtown core b/c it’s mostly a corporate city and once ppl leave work the core empties out fast. Ppl retreat back to suburbia. Van a far better city
You're definitely not from Calgary. You are dressed for -20 weather. -2 is hoodie weather. Lol
Fob
looks like nothing in calgary
