In reply to Marni. I love to fall in love with places other travelers are unimpressed by :) But I think Canadians are too hard on Manitoba. It's beautiful!

I’m not from Manitoba, and I’ve yet to go to Winnipeg (even just in passing), but it made me feel proud of my country to read about your wonderful experience there! Manitoba has always seemed to be overlooked as a “boring, flat province”, yet it has a lot to offer and is actually quite lovely. I can’t wait to read more about your experience there!

In reply to S. I agree! I met a family from Luxembourg that were traveling in Manitoba for three weeks and they said they had gotten a LOT of questions as to how they ended up there, ha. But they were loving their trip! They couldn't understand why everyone was so mystified that they chose Manitoba :)

In reply to Cailey. Hey Cailey! I took one of those tours and wrote about it in this post. I'd love to come back too!

In reply to Dan Vineberg. Fun! I would love to read some travel bloggers' takes on my hometown. Anyone want to come to Albany? :)

In reply to Jordyn. I did, and I loved the suggestions from so many Winnipegers on social media throughout my trip! Such a helpful, friendly bunch!

Have you tried the restaurant called ‘Dwarf no Cachette’ on Provencher? It’s amazing if you love Japanese cuisine!

I was pleased to read about your visit to my home town!! I no longer live there however it will always be my home! Thank you for the beautiful write up. Winnipeg is often missed in the travels of Canada and it has a lot to offer all year round!

I’m a Winnipegger, and have spent the summer working in the tourism industry- can I also recommend some of the many tours in the West End/downtown/exchange district areas? Some highlights include the Exchange District’s Death and Debauchery tour, the West End BIZ mural tours (for which I am the tour guide!), and a whole host of restaurant tours, including a patio crawl. Winnipeg has been getting more attention than usual lately and I love it!! We’d love to have you back!
