The largest city in Manitoba and its provincial capital, Winnipeg has sure come a long way from its roots as a trading post and later train transportation hub. Today’s Winnipeg boasts a lively and diverse arts community, including the world-famous Royal Winnipeg Ballet. Visitors love The Forks, a 53 acre heritage site which is the city’s number one tourist destination featuring restaurants, shops and green spaces. Or head out of town to discover, within a surprisingly short distance, endless lakes and beaches.
