Calgary Shopping Districts.
Calgary has a number of very walkable, very cool shopping districts with boutiques, quaint shops, chic fashions and numerous hidden treasures waiting to be found.
Shopping districts.
Kensington Village.
Often described as vibrant and trendy, Kensington Village certainly is that, but not in the mainstream sense. While a couple of corporate giants have joined its mix of businesses, the area has long maintained an independent streak.
4th Street, Mission.
What started as a French speaking community in the heart of Calgary has become a collection of trendy shops and restaurants along 4th Street in Calgary. Mission is home to vibrant flavours and restaurants for every taste.
17th Avenue.
The centre of Calgary’s nightlife and the ultimate place to see and be seen. With hot restaurants and cool boutiques, 17th as the locals call it, is where Calgary comes to play.
Stephen Ave.
