Once you have landed in Calgary, the
airport is only 20 minutes from downtown. The Airporter Shuttle Express provides
shuttle service between the Airport and downtown Calgary on a scheduled basis.
Airporter Shuttle Express has a counter on the arrivals level adjacent to
International Arrivals and operates its buses out of Bus Bay # 12 on the
Arrivals level. Shuttle service is provided to downtown hotels. For more
information, contact Airporter Shuttle Express at (403) 509-4799.

If you are staying downtown, you do
not need to rent a car. The city’s transit system, including the light-rail
C-Train, can quickly move you around the city's quadrants. It is also easy to
walk around the city, and both the Westin and Palliser hotels are located in the
heart of downtown. Rides will
be provided for the Thursday night Mehndi and Bachelor party and the
Saturday afternoon wedding ceremony from the Westin and Palliser.

|
If you want to rent a car, several
Car Rental agencies can be found at the airport and in the downtown core. If
you're driving, the downtown streets are ordered numerically with streets
running north and south, and avenues running east and west.
