About Winnipeg:
Winnipeg & Area at a Glance
Winnipeg is one of Canada's most
culturally vibrant urban centres, yet it sometimes receives an unfair
reputation because of the notoriously long, cold Manitoban winters. What many
don't realize is that Winnipeg is situated near several amazing beaches,
including Grand
Beach, a heavenly white-sand destination that enjoys sizzling, sunny
weather in the summer months. Located at the geographical centre of Canada,
Winnipeg is easily accessed from destinations around the globe. Winnipeg's
history comes alive at the Manitoba
Museum, which has nine galleries displaying historical artifacts and
replicas in a series of interactive displays. Few can visit Winnipeg without
noticing the unique architecture of the Royal
Canadian Mint. Take a tour and learn where Canadian coins, and the coins
of several foreign countries, come from. Treasure seekers should seek out The
Forks, a funky market located at the junction of the Assiniboine and Red
Rivers, and one of the city's most popular gathering places.
