48 hours in Winnipeg (when it's warm) There's no shortage of things to do and see when the weather is warm and the city is in bloom. Here are our top picks for what to do in Winnipeg — the 48-hour itinerary edition. Day One It's important to start such a jam-packed day on the right foot, and there are few places better to do so than Clementine, which was named one of Canada's best new restaurants by enRoute magazine in 2017. The hardest part of this meal will be choosing between all the mouth- watering options. We recommend ordering a few and sharing with a friend. After that, fuel up at one of the city's trendy coffee shops. Take a coffee to go at Parlour Coffee, Forth, or Grey Owl and wander through the historic streets of the Exchange District, where you can find examples of turn-of-the-20th- century architecture filled with quirky shops and artistic creations. Take in some window shopping at the city's best art galleries and maker spaces, speckled throughout the Design Quarter. Take a stroll down the river walk from the Exchange District, and find yourself at The Forks — Winnipeg's largest tourist attraction, where there's always something going on. Spend some time watching the boarders at the skate park, wander through the market, or head down to the harbour and book a scenic view with Splash Dash Tours, where you'll learn the history of the Assiniboine and Red Rivers and how they helped shape the city. If you'd rather stay on land, rent a bike at Bee-2-Gether (tandem bikes also available) and roll down the many scenic trails. When you get hungry, head to The Forks Market, where a stunning variety of food options await you — from Argentinian to Ukrainian, to gourmet bites and traditional classics. If you're thirsty, wash everything down with a wine or beer flight from The Common. If you want to spend some time indoors, head to the Manitoba Legislative building and be amazed by the architectural mysteries hidden there thanks to the Hermetic Code Tour (Wednesdays at 6 p.m.). If it's game day in Winnipeg, you can also get off your feet at Shaw Park, cheering on the Winnipeg Goldeyes baseball team while sampling through the ballpark's selection of local beers. As the sun goes down, the vibe in Winnipeg seems to heat up. Head back to the Exchange District where live music and festivals are happening most weekends at The Cube stage. A great selection of local restaurants nearby means you'll find something delicious, from sushi burritos to shawarma, and a fine selection of patios in between. If you're with a group, book a table at Across The Board Game Café and play through hundreds of different board games late into the night.
