Sightseeing in Calgary
Calgary has everything: shops, theatres, galleries, concerts, ballet,
dance bands and a unique nightlife. As Calgary hosted
the Olympic Winter Games in 1988, it offers a wide range of sports facilities
during the winter, as well as in the summer months.
We recommend a visit to the Olympic Centre, where you will find a lot
of information on the Olympics or take part in a simulated bob ride. During the summer months, Calgary hosts various festivals. The Calgary
Stampede in June demonstrates the life of cowboys including various rodeo
and western shows.
The Calgary Tower offers spectacular views on the town centre, the wide
prairie and the Rocky Mountains. Glenbow Museum is an excellent
exhibition of the socio-cultural and natural history of the region. Calgary Zoo is home to animals from all over the world. The pre-historic
park with its dinosaurs is highly recommended too.

- You must have at least a lower intermediate level (A2) to go on this course Enrolment onto the preparation course is subject to a grading test before the course starts.
- The exams normally take place in the last week of the course, therefore we can only offer limited teaching in that week.
