Winnipeg is recognized as a great city with a thriving arts & culture scene, great dining and a friendly place to holiday, but you don’t have to take our word for it. Here’s what other journalists had to say ...

“The hottest, steamiest, most exotic place in Canada? It’s in Winnipeg.”
- Laura Robin, Vancouver Sun, Calgary Herald, Edmonton Journal

“Part picturesque Prairie town, part metropolitan centre and 100-percent fashionista playground, this city is packed with great galleries, restaurants and, of course, superhot shops.”
- Christine Laroche, LouLou Magazine

“For those who choose the car-bound trek to Winnipeg, its plethora of theaters and museums, bars, restaurants and concert venues are prime entertainment destinations. The city also houses a thriving off-the-beaten path indie scene.”
- Jason Zabel and Ian Power, Minnesota Daily (U of Minnesota)

”Manitoba’s artistic brilliance radiates from Winnipeg, its cultural capital.”
- Michele Peterson, U.S.A. Travel Industry Guide to Canada, Canadian Travel Industry Guide to Canada, International Travel Industry Guide to Canada

 “Everyone knows that, culturally, Winnipeg is no Chekhovian outpost. Indeed, the surfeit of creative juice and disproportionate number of success stories here (this generation’s notables include artists Marcel Dzama, Sarah Anne Johnson, writer Miriam Toews and the aforementioned Maddin) has long had Torontonians scratching their heads. Is there something in the water?”
- Karen Burshtein, National Post
