Places: Where should travellers go? Winnipeg offers a mix of history, culture, and nature:
The Forks National Historic Site: Located at the junction of the Red and Assiniboine Rivers, this has been a gathering place for over 6,000 years. Today, it's a popular year-round hub with:
The Forks Market: A lively spot for unique shops, local food vendors, and craft beer.
Nestaweya River Trail: A famous ice-skating trail on the frozen rivers in winter.
Canadian Museum for Human Rights: A world-class museum and the only one of its kind devoted solely to human rights. The architecture itself is stunning, and the exhibits are deeply moving and educational.
The Exchange District National Historic Site: A 20-square-block area known as the "Chicago of the North" for its exceptional collection of turn-of-the-20th-century architecture. It is now home to art galleries, boutiques, trendy restaurants, and cafes.
Assiniboine Park: Winnipeg's largest park, featuring:
Assiniboine Park Zoo: Home to the award-winning "Journey to Churchill" exhibit for Arctic animals like polar bears.
The Leaf: A unique indoor horticultural attraction with Canada's tallest indoor waterfall.
St. Boniface: Winnipeg's French Quarter, home to the beautiful ruins of the St. Boniface Cathedral (the final resting place of Louis Riel) and the Esplanade Riel Footbridge, which connects it to The Forks.
Thermea by Nordik Spa-Nature: A Scandinavian-inspired outdoor thermal spa experience for rest and relaxation.
Neighbourhoods: What are the areas like? Winnipeg is known for its distinctive and community-focused areas:
The Exchange District: Historic and Cultural. Characterized by stunning heritage buildings, this area is the city's cultural hub, featuring theatres (like the Centennial Concert Hall), art galleries, innovative restaurants, and boutiques. It has a hip, urban vibe.
The Forks: Central and Tourist Hub. This area is a destination in itself, acting as a historical and modern meeting place with year-round indoor and outdoor activities. It is essential for shopping, dining, and cultural attractions.
Corydon Village / Osborne Village: Vibrant and Trendy. Both areas are known for their lively atmosphere. Corydon is famous for "Little Italy" with its cafes and patios, while Osborne Village is popular for its eclectic shops, restaurants, and bohemian feel.
St. Boniface: Francophone and Historic. Located east of the Red River, this is the center of Winnipeg's French-Canadian community and culture. It offers beautiful architecture and a distinct French atmosphere.
River Heights / Tuxedo / Charleswood: Residential and Affluent. These areas, particularly River Heights and Tuxedo, are known for their beautiful, tree-lined streets, character homes, high-end shopping, and proximity to Assiniboine Park. They are generally quieter and family-friendly.
Wolseley: Progressive and Green. Located near downtown, Wolseley is known for its progressive, eco-conscious community, charming character homes, and community gardens. City Advice: What should travellers know? Embrace the Weather:
Winter: Winnipeg is notoriously cold (one of the coldest cities in the world), but it embraces winter with activities like the Festival du Voyageur and the Nestaweya River Trail. If visiting from November to March, pack extreme layers—a heavy parka, warm boots, hat (toque), and mittens are essential.
Summer: Summers can be hot and humid (often reaching the mid-30s°C/mid-80s°F or higher), with the sun setting very late (around 10:30 p.m. in early July), allowing for long evenings outdoors.
Safety: Like any major city, exercise caution, especially at night. Tourist-heavy areas like The Forks and The Exchange District are generally safe, but it's best to stick to well-lit, populated streets after dark. Be generally aware of your surroundings, especially in certain parts of Downtown or the North End at night.
Getting Around: Public transit is available (Winnipeg Transit), but having a rental car is a great way to explore the entire city and take day trips (like to nearby Lake Winnipeg beaches or Riding Mountain National Park). Taxis and rideshare services are also readily available.
Cuisine: Don't miss out on local favorites! Try Goldeye (a smoked freshwater fish) and local bison dishes. The food hall at The Forks Market is a great place to sample diverse local fare.
Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a kitchen, a washing machine, and a dining area. Change of towels is available on request.

Disliked: Cleanliness
Minimum nights are 3 but stayed just one night as loud noises and weird human trafficking signs posted around the house. The owner posted another charge for an extra person and then blamed VRBO who in turn said it was the owner. Anyways, do not stay if you are sensitive to cooking smells as its no fresh air circulates.
