If you're here when it's warm hopping from pub to pub on 17th avenue (the site of the red mile) can be a good time.
I really wouldn't recommend Calgary in the winter though unless you are going for a ski vacation and happen to be passing through here on the way. It's pretty brown scrubby and ugly here most of winter.

yup alot of people who have lived in calgary along time or in canada for that matter dont realize that the western heritage is very appealing and exotic to alot of people especially from Asia and Europe, not to mention how spectacular the rockies are to someone who has never seen those types of mountains before. As far as north america goes the Calgary to Victoria is a adventurers paradise and is a fantastic holiday for people from the bigs cities in the East, Europe and Asia, the open spaces, fresh air, the many lakes and rivers. We do live in a special part of the world, that alot of people who live here dont appreciate.
