🇨🇦 Cross-Canada Road Trip | Winnipeg Highlights

Perched on the eastern edge of the Prairie Provinces, Winnipeg—Manitoba’s capital and Canada’s 6th-largest city (pop. 750K)—offers these must-see stops: 🏛️ Manitoba Legislative Building A stunning Neoclassical gem with free guided tours (English/French). 📸 Photos allowed, no videos. ⛪ Saint Boniface Cathedral Only the fire-ravaged facade remains, with tombstones dotting the lawn. Visit at sunset for hauntingly beautiful shadows. 🛒 The Forks Market Cross the footbridge from the cathedral to this bustling hub of global eats and crafts. Don’t miss the vintage train out front—perfect photo op! 🚂 ⚙️ Canadian Museum for Human Rights Near The Forks, this striking steel-and-glass architectural marvel (industrial-chic vibes). Ran out of time to enter, but the exterior wowed! 💰 Royal Canadian Mint One of only two mints in Canada! Requires tickets—sadly skipped due to schedule. 📍 Centre of Canada Park Hidden off a side road (easy to miss!). Features a giant latitude/longitude sign and oversized red chairs—super Instagrammable! 🌻 Sunflower Fields Summer magic! Google Maps leads to a gravel path—drive boldly in! No entry fee (sorry, Vancouver pay-to-enter folks). Endless golden blooms = 📸 paradise. 🛣️ Welcome Signs Classic road-trip ritual: snapped Manitoba & Ontario border signs! Why Winnipeg? A blend of history, culture, and prairie charm—compact yet packed with surprises! #CanadianLife #RoadTripCanada #ExploreCanada #Winnipeg #WinnipegLife #NorthAmericaRoadTrip #TravelCanada
