You’ll pass the lively neighborhoods of East Village, home to impressive modern architecture, before the iconic Calgary Tower comes into view, standing proudly against the skyline.
For an efficient trip, consider timing your travel outside of peak hours, typically around 8-9 AM and 4-6 PM, when local commuters are on the move. At the airport, follow signs for ground transportation to find the designated pickup area. Be prepared for busy traffic in the area during certain times, and keep in mind that the weather can be unpredictable, so check conditions before you head out.
