Saint-Boniface
Saint-Boniface is the heart of Manitoba's francophone
culture and an outstanding spot for foodies looking for
pastries, chocolates, coffee, and French fare. Visit Fort
Gibraltar and Le Musée de Saint-Boniface Museum
for a lesson in Métis and Franco-Manitoban history,
then wander the grounds of Saint-Boniface Cemetery
and Cathedral, the eternal resting place of Louis Riel,
considered to be Manitoba's founder.
Exchange District
A national historic site that has become a hotbed for
creative types, the Exchange District is Winnipeg's
newest hip 'hood, even recognized in
Vogue. Amongst
its cobblestone streets and handsome brick and mortar
buildings you'll find fantastic restaurants – many of which
can be included for a dine-around event, eclectic shops,
impressive museums and the heart of Winnipeg's live
theatre and concert scene – which includes the Centennial
Concert Hall, the Royal Manitoba Theatre Centre, and the
futuristic Cube outdoor stage (to name but a few).
Osborne Village
The invitingly walkable stretch of this boho-chic enclave
boasts a block party vibe, especially in the summer
during street festival season. Located just south of
downtown, small-scale boutiques, consignment shops
and record stores stand hand-in-hand with some of
Winnipeg's best restaurants and bars. It all makes for a
gem of a place to visit, night or day.
