Winnipeg
This diverse, multicultural city has blown up over the years into a cosmopolitan city full of must-see attractions, can’t miss eateries and experiences at every corner. Whether your style is indoors or outdoors, city or nature – Winnipeg offers it all. There is no wrong place to start.
Get outside
Leo Mol Sculpture Garden
Among trees, flowers, ponds and other beautiful nature elements are magnificent bronze works of art that stand out while fitting perfectly into the atmosphere. Explore the grounds with a lovely walk and find yourself lost in another world.
Riding Mountain National Park
If there is one park to visit in the Manitoba providence, it’s Riding Mountain National Park. Home to three distinct ecosystems – grasslands, mixed wood forest and eastern deciduous forest – you’ll experience an endless array of trails, camping spots and water activities. Plus, the park is known to be a great spot to catch the Northern Lights!
Things to do
The Canadian Museum for Human Rights is still new to Canada’s list of attractions, but its impressive and eye-catching architecture allows it to stand out along the Winnipeg skyline. This museum aims to foster dialogue and promote change in the human rights sector with its powerful, interactive exhibits that share hundreds of human experiences.
The Forks is a riverside attraction in downtown Winnipeg where the Red and Assiniboine rivers meet. Visitors will find a central market, numerous dining options, city lookouts, a children’s play area and much more. Offering a little bit of everything, the Forks is a must-visit to capture the essence of Winnipeg.
Visit the Royal Canadian Mint. The exterior itself is a beautiful sight especially during sunset when the reflective glass walls capture sundown’s warm glow. Inside, visitors can take a guided tour where they can hold gold bars, see real Olympic gold medals and witness coins’ production for over 70 countries
