As the heart and soul of the city, Downtown is the best place for first-time visitors to stay. During the day you can explore its shops and museums, and at night you can catch a play, a sports games, or hit the bars and clubs.
While Downtown’s Exchange District is a quaint and historic, it comes alive at night with the sounds and lights of its top bars and clubs.
Fashion and food fanatics might prefer Downtown’s The Fork locale for its green open spaces, and shopping and dining opportunities away from the centre of Downtown.
Alternatively, head out of Downtown altogether and into the leafy yet cool suburbs of Wolseley. This niche neighbourhood is known for its indie shops, diverse selection of alternative eateries, and relaxed attitude.
Experience the French side of Winnipeg in Central St Boniface, otherwise known as Winnipeg’s French Quarter. Situated across the Red River from Downtown, it is quieter, more residential, and much more affordable.
There’s plenty to keep young ones occupied around Assiniboine Park including the zoo and the vast open park itself. What’s more, its just a short drive from Downtown in one direction, and FortWhyte Alive in the other.
A web of public buses makes it easy to explore Winnipeg from wherever you decide to stay.
