    Visit the Parliament Building, the most beautiful and impressive building in Winnipeg. The columns, the green dome topped by the 3m tall Golden Boy, and the two imposing buffalo that guard the entrance will inspire your imagination. The building is surrounded by extensive gardens, which make it a favourite place for taking wedding pictures.
    When I was younger, my father used to take me on long drives in our yellow Volvo around the city. Every time we passed by the Parliament Building, I would point at the statue on top of the building's dome and exclaim, 'Look, there's the Golden Boy!' Yes, and there he was, forever standing on one foot, holding up his torch.

    Walking down Broadway you will see quite a mix of building styles. Standing on Broadway across from the Legislature and looking toward Main St. you will see such a contrast. The stone building is part of the Manitoba Law Courts complex while the newer building is the Woodward Building which houses many provincial governement departments. Keep walking down Broadway until you reach the end of the street at Main St. for more examples.

  • Address: Broadway and Memorial Blvd

    You should go on a boat tour. In the tour the guide highlights most of the local attractions which include The Forks, St.Boniface Cathedral, the Parliment buildings, and Can West Global Park.

    Our City may not have a Tate or a Louvre, but it does have our Winnipeg Art Gallery to offer. If you're looking for some localish art or are interested in Inuit sculpture, give the place a look. There is also a gift shop.

    If you're lucky, the gallery might have a couple of paintings by good artists out on loan from somewhere important. (A few years ago, they had a couple of Van Goghs from the Vincent Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam.)

  • Directions: The Art Gallery is located on Memorial Boulevard, down the street from the Legislature.

    Visit the historic CP rail station that has been restored to its former grandeur and is now a gathering place and vital community resource for Winnipeg's Aboriginal community. Stop by the Aboriginal Centre Restaurant for lunch and visit the Canadian Plains Gallery that showcases some of the finest Aboriginal art in Canada.

    CanWest Global Place

    CanWest Global Place is the tallest building in Winnipeg with 31 floors. With nothing but prairie around Winnipeg for hundreds of kilometres and several of these tall buildings all located at the corner of Portage & Main, they make it the windiest corner in North America.

    The building was originally built by the Toronto Dominion (TD) Bank but was later sold to the Winnipeg owned company CanWest Global Communications.

  • If you didn't travel to Winnipeg by train, be sure to take few minutes to visit the Union Station on Main Street if you pass by. The architecture on the inside is quite a treat. Be sure to look up in the common area with the ceiling dome.
