Winnipeg may surprise you: A large city rising up from the vast plains of southern Manitoba may be startling in itself, but to find a cosmopolitan capital that's home to a world-class ballet, fine museums and a stimulating multicultural atmosphere -- well, it's more than we expected.

Among the peoples who have settled in Winnipeg are Native Americans, French- and English-speaking Canadians, Ukrainians, Chinese, East Indians and others. This mix gives the town its international flavor, which manifests itself in a wonderful variety of markets, restaurants and cultural centers. Attractions like the Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra and the renowned Royal Winnipeg Ballet add to the city's urbane appeal.

This sophistication is nicely balanced by the town's wide-open Western feel, its proximity to the surrounding farmlands and by the fact that it's relatively small as big cities go. We find Winnipeg a place that's easy to know and yet complex enough to make for an interesting visit.
