We hold 718 venues in Calgary — 683 places to eat and 35 to stay. That makes it the 2nd-largest of the 721 towns and suburbs we cover in Alberta, carrying 8% of the region's venues. Nationally it sits 11th out of 6,205 places.

Of the places to eat, 23% are cafés against a national figure of 19%. Calgary is 4 points more café-heavy than the country as a whole, which usually points to daytime and weekend trade rather than an evening dining scene. The full split is 155 cafés, 338 restaurants, 130 takeaways, 36 bars and 24 pubs.

433 of the 683 eating places carry a cuisine tag. The most common are coffee shop (63), pizza (37) and burger (31). Relative to the rest of the country Calgary is unusually strong on fast food, bakery and pastry — those appear here at a higher rate than the national average.

On the practical detail: 385 publish opening hours (54%), 53 are recorded as step-free, 118 have outdoor seating and 44 flag vegetarian options. Coverage here is better than the 21% national average, so the hours below are more reliable than most.

For a bed, Calgary runs to 35 listings — 27 hotels, 1 motels, 2 b&bs and guest houses, 1 hostels and 4 serviced apartments. Hotels dominate, at 77% of the town's accommodation.

Places of a similar size — Richmond (708), Laval (686), London (652) and Brampton (798) — average 3% accommodation. Calgary runs at 5%, much the same, so on this measure it behaves like its peers.

All of this is derived from open data rather than collected from listings sites: OpenStreetMap for the venues, public registers for verification. 125 of the 718 venues in Calgary carry at least six recorded attributes and so have a page of their own; the rest are listed here, because a page with only a name and a map pin on it would be worth nobody's time. A blank field means unrecorded, not absent. Nothing here is scraped from a commercial directory, no venue has paid to appear, and we publish no ratings or reviews of our own.
