Overview
Edmonton is the capital of Alberta and widely regarded as one of Canada’s key urban centres. The city boasts a family friendly and fun atmosphere, with all ages being able to enjoy the city’s wide open spaces, festivals, museums and amazing shops.
Edmonton is located near the idyllic North Saskatchewan River and is home to more than 22 parks and thousands of kilometres of trails. The city’s proximity to the Canadian Rockies also means you can enjoy the best of the Canadian West all in one holiday.
West Edmonton Mall must be on your to do list if you are visiting the city. The mall is the largest of its kind in North America with over 800 shops, a theme park, water park, ice rink, underground aquarium and a golf course – you could end up spending your whole holiday there!
If you want a break from the city’s modern, commercial centres, visit the historic Fort Edmonton Park. Go back in time more than 150 years and experience the evolution of the city’s early history and come face to face with the pioneers of the Great Canadian West!
One of the things this unique destination is most famous for is the annual Edmonton Fringe Festival, which takes place each August and is the largest of its kind in North America. The city comes to life during the festival, with international and local performers lining the streets and filling the city’s theatres. We recommend taking a stroll around the city’s Old Strathcona district and seeing the street performers.
After a day spent exploring the city and its surroundings it’s time to relax and satisfy your hunger. Edmonton has a large selection of restaurants known for creating innovative and exciting dishes. One of our top recommendations is RGE RD; this modern diner has a diverse menu and is considered to be one of the best restaurants in the city.
