The currency is the Canadian dollar and English is the main language, with a notable Franco-Manitoban community in Saint-Boniface where French is at home. Downtown and The Forks are walkable, city buses cover the core, and Uber is easy for getting around. Winnipeg is a spread-out, car-friendly city, so a rental makes reaching Assiniboine Park and the suburbs easier, though many agencies add a young-driver surcharge under 25. Parking is plentiful and cheap, and traffic is light. The city is safe with the usual urban care.
