Winnipeg! Often called the “Gateway to the West,” and maybe sometimes overlooked, but let me tell you, spending time in Winnipeg was a genuinely surprising and rewarding experience for me. It’s a city with a resilience and a vibrant spirit that you can feel as you explore. I arrived with some стандарт ideas about a prairie city, but I left with a deep appreciation for its rich history, incredible culture, and the warmth of its people.

Winnipeg sits at the historical confluence of the Red and Assiniboine Rivers, a meeting place that has been significant for thousands of years, and you can still feel that sense of gathering at the Forks today. It’s a city that has played a pivotal role in Canada’s development, and you see glimpses of that history in its architecture and institutions.

What I found so compelling about Winnipeg is this fantastic blend of nationally significant attractions and smaller, local treasures. There are places that everyone should see, and then there are those little spots that make you feel like you’ve discovered something special. This page is where I want to share my personal take on both the must-see highlights and some of the hidden gems I uncovered in the city.
