Winnipeg
Tourist Information - Winnipeg
Winnipeg is the capital and largest city of the province of Manitoba, Canada. Winnipeg is located in the province's south-eastern corner, where the rugged Canadian Shield gives way to open prairie, at the confluence of the Red and Assiniboine rivers. Because of its strategic location, the city is often called "The Gateway to the West."
Winnipeg has many distinct neighbourhoods. Many have special BIZ offices that can provide you with details about their district, well worth a visit if you are new to the area. Over 40 ethnic cultures thrive in Winnipeg. Each has its own unique geographical area, some very large, like the French Quarter, and others only a few streets or blocks in size.
