Reviews
Stephen Avenue Walk is a lively pedestrian street in downtown Calgary with a nice mix of restaurants, shops, patios, and historic buildings. It’s great for a casual stroll, people-watching, or grabbing a bite to eat. The architecture adds charm, especially the heritage facades alongside modern towers.nnThat said, some areas feel a bit quieter outside peak hours, and not every stretch is equally vibrant. Still, it’s one of the best spots in the city to experience Calgary’s downtown energy.
It is always architecturally interesting to blend old buildings with newer glass skyscrapers and add a touch of originality with these metal structures. It sure is nice to look at it. Though, in 2014, there were too many homeless people and visibly ones with mental health/drug issues, just like in Edmonton tbh. It means constantly having to pay attention instead of focusing on what you came for.
This is a wonderful walking street right in the heart of downtown Calgary. There are so many restaurants, coffee shops, and bars to choose from, many of them are good! It's very safe, a lot of police presence and very popular. Great thing to experience in Calgary!
I really enjoyed spending an afternoon on Stephen Avenue — it’s the perfect mix of Calgary’s history and lively urban vibe. The beautiful old sandstone buildings, historic facades, and all the unique shops and patios make it feel full of character.nnThere’s so much to see and do here — you’ll find cozy cafés, casual pubs, nice sit-down restaurants, and lots of patios that come alive in the summer. I loved grabbing a coffee at one of the local roasters, browsing in the boutique stores, and just people-watching.nnThere’s also plenty of public art and interesting sculptures along the street, plus buskers and street performers that add to the atmosphere. If you feel like exploring more, you can pop into the Devonian Gardens inside the CORE Shopping Centre — a beautiful indoor green space right downtown.nnNearby, you’ve got the Glenbow Museum, Olympic Plaza, and historic spots like the Palace Theatre if you want to dive deeper into Calgary’s culture. The street really comes alive during events and festivals too — there’s always something happening.nnIt’s super walkable and safe during the day, and it’s a great place to relax, grab a drink, or just enjoy Calgary’s downtown energy. If you’re visiting the city, don’t miss a stroll down Stephen Avenue — it’s one of the best ways to get a feel for Calgary’s local charm!
Really nice walk on this street while restaurants around. In the evening with lights and other stuff it gives undoubtedly mesmerizing look. But to keep in mind the thing that this place is in downtown where the problem of vagrants is so much. I went to this place with my family and two vagrants scared my kids and I came back. Place is good but it needs proper security arrangements to keep the visitors safe.
