Winnipeg & Area at a Glance
Winnipeg is one of Canada's most
culturally vibrant urban centres, yet it sometimes receives an unfair reputation
because of the notoriously long, cold Manitoban winters. What many don't realize
is that Winnipeg is situated near several amazing beaches, including Grand
Beach, a heavenly white-sand destination that enjoys sizzling, sunny weather
in the summer months. Located at the geographical centre of Canada, Winnipeg is
easily accessed from destinations around the globe. Winnipeg's history comes alive
at the Manitoba
Museum, which has nine galleries displaying historical artifacts and replicas
in a series of interactive displays. Few can visit Winnipeg without noticing the
unique architecture of the Royal
Canadian Mint. Take a tour and learn where Canadian coins, and the coins of
several foreign countries, come from. Treasure seekers should seek out The
Forks, a funky market located at the junction of the Assiniboine and Red Rivers,
and one of the city's most popular gathering places.
