Located in the center of Canada, just above the U.S. border you can find the capital of Manitoba, the multicultural city of Winnipeg. Where the Red and Assiniboine Rivers meet, usually known as The Forks, there is much to do and see.

The Forks National Historic Site covers about nine acres and is a great place to sit outside and enjoy a cup of coffee or just the weather. All year round, The Forks plays host to several activities. During the winter you can find ice skating and during summer, outdoor concerts. The Fork’s Market is home to some of the best shops, restaurants and bars in Winnipeg. The unique shops can accommodate the taste of age, from clothing and gifts to toys and antiques. If looking for a place to eat you can choose from the Old Spaghetti Factory or the Pancake House. Within The Forks you can also find The Children’s Museum and walking trails.

If you are looking for a place to find a good beer and good people one of Winnipeg’s newest bars, Shannon’s Irish Pub, is quickly becoming the city’s stand out bars. Between the live band, large dance floor, and many choices of cold beer, this Irish pub is an ideal place to meet locals and visitors alike.

For a place to stay let HI-Winnipeg be your home away from home. The huge kitchen makes it easy for all guests to cook their own meals, which makes traveling on a budget much easier. If cooking your own food is not for you, the Lo Pub and Lo Bistro are perfect. The private rooms and free WIFI help to make your stay in Winnipeg even more enjoyable.
