Welcome to Calgary Downtown

Welcome to downtown Calgary! You’re about to discover a city filled with excitement, opportunity, connections and vibrant places. 

Whether you are here for a job interview, your first day at a new workplace, attending a conference, or visiting family and friends, navigating downtown can sometimes feel overwhelming. 

Tall buildings, multiple entrances, skywalks, construction detours, and unfamiliar layouts can make even a short trip confusing, especially if you are new to the area. 
The good news is, you do not have to figure it out alone. 

Your New Travel Companion: The Pedesting App 

To make your downtown experience easier, we created Pedesting — a free mobile app that helps you navigate both outdoors and indoors with clear, step-by-step directions. 
Pedesting shows you the best routes to entrances, elevators, meeting rooms, parking areas, and public spaces, all in real time. 

Whether you are walking, rolling, carrying luggage, or pushing a stroller, Pedesting helps you move through the city confidently and independently.

Helping Everyone Navigate with Confidence 

Getting around is not always easy for everyone. 
For people with disabilities, newcomers, parents with strollers, seniors, or anyone recovering from an injury, downtown environments can sometimes present real barriers. 

Pedesting is designed to help everyone plan their journey in advance, avoid unexpected obstacles, and move through buildings and public spaces smoothly. 

With Pedesting, you can: 

• Find accessible entrances without confusion 

• Navigate elevators, ramps, washrooms, and meeting spaces 

• Save time and energy by avoiding stairs, construction zones, and complicated pathways 

• Plan your route ahead of time for added peace of mind 

Pedesting puts accessible, easy navigation right in your pocket — before you leave home and while you are on the move. 

Navigating the +15 Walkway Network 

One unique feature of downtown Calgary is the +15 walkway system — a network of indoor skywalks that connects many buildings above street level. 
If it is your first time visiting downtown, using the +15 can feel like an entirely new experience. 
Finding the right connection points, entrances, or exits can be confusing at first. 

Pedesting can help you: 

• Understand which buildings are connected through the +15 

• Find the exact entrances, exits, and elevators needed to reach your destination 

• Move between office towers, convention centers, food courts, and public spaces without getting lost 

Some Pedesting Zones like the Calgary TELUS Convention Centre, The Edison, and Bow Valley College offer detailed indoor navigation that connects you easily to nearby +15 pathways. 
Whether you are trying to reach an interview, a meeting, or simply explore, Pedesting helps you figure out how to move confidently within the downtown network. 

Simple Tips to Navigate Downtown Calgary Even Better 

While Pedesting will guide you every step of the way, here are a few extra tips to make your experience even smoother: 

1. Double-check your destination details. 
   Some downtown towers have several entrances. Make sure you know which one you need. 
2. Give yourself a little extra time. 
   Plan to arrive 10 to 15 minutes early, especially if it is your first time visiting a building. 
3. Ask for help if needed. 
   Security and reception teams are happy to assist if you need directions inside. 
4. Use Pedesting to pre-plan and get live directions. 
   Select your building or destination in the app and follow personalized, accessible routes right to your destination.
