General presentation
Winnipeg
Prairie Metropolis, a confluence of two rivers rich in architecture, museums and Aboriginal and Métis cultures.
To understand what Winnipeg is, you need to look at the Canadian Museum for Human Rights, The Forks and Assiniboine Park. These places give you a view of a territory marked by the big city, riverscapes, heritage and wildlife observation and allow you to move from emblematic sites to more intimate stages.
See all
For a stay of 3 to 6 days, a quiet rhythm works well. Also to be anticipated: variable influx depending on the season. The trip can be organised without a car if the drop point and local connections are selected in advance. The main sites are generally easy to access.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Museum
Musée canadien pour les droits de la personne
Its glass tower and light walkways make the museum an immediately recognizable landmark Winnipeg. The journeys connect individual stories and great collective battles, in a demanding visit that invites more to think than to simply observe.
Place indismissible
La Fourche
To meet the Red and Assiniboine rivers, La Fourche Overlays millennia of gatherings, a living market and wide walks. You come there to eat, to walk along the water and to feel beat Winnipeg in the same place.
Nature and landscape
Assiniboine Park
Assiniboine Park offers the inhabitants a vast breath of gardens, woods, art and family spaces. A walk can easily extend to The Leaf or the zoo, without losing the peaceful atmosphere of the park.
Place indismissible
Quartier de la Bourse
The Bourse district retains a remarkable set of stone and brick warehouses that have become workshops, cafes and cultural halls. Its streets are slowly discovered to observe ancient signs, emergency stairs and details of a city built by the Prairie trade.
