Walking downtown Calgary

Why go

Walk Stephen Avenue along 8th Avenue for a street-level route through the core, or turn towards the river pathways for a more open stretch. The +15 network links downtown buildings above street level; it is useful when conditions make an outdoor walk less appealing, though it offers a different view of the city.

Useful to know

• Use Stephen Avenue as a downtown walking axis and add the river pathway when weather suits an outdoor detour.
• Look for +15 connections between downtown buildings during cold weather; check access before relying on a particular link.
• Keep the street address handy when using enclosed walkways so you can return to the right block.
