Downtown Calgary -Explore Calgary’s +15 Skywalk, Bankers Hall, CORE Shopping Mall & Devonian Gardens

Welcome to the first part of our series exploring Calgary’s +15 Skywalk-a unique network of elevated pathways connecting downtown buildings! 🌟 In this video, we begin our walk on Stephen Avenue just outside Bankers Hall, where I explain why Calgary’s streets are often quiet and why so many people rely on the +15 Skywalk system during the winter.
We admire the stunning Christmas decorations at Bankers Hall before heading into the CORE Shopping Centre. Inside, we take a closer look at the impressive glass structures, explore the serene Devonian Gardens, and end our tour at the lively food court.
