Set in the prairie heartland of Alberta, Edmonton is Canada’s northernmost metropolis and its fastest-growing capital city. Known for its cultural diversity and vibrant energy, Edmonton offers plenty for you to enjoy. Cheer on world-class hockey teams, immerse yourself in the creativity of North America’s largest Fringe Theatre Festival, or try craft brews in the trendy ICE District — Edmontonians know how to have fun, and they’ll make sure you do too!

Explore the sprawling North Saskatchewan River Valley, a green space 22 times larger than New York City’s Central Park, where you can hike, bike, kayak, or even ski year-round. West Edmonton Mall is a must-see, with 800 stores, a wave pool, amusement park, and two hotels. For something quieter, visit Elk Island National Park to spot wildlife like bison and elk, and if you’re here between September and April, you might catch the Northern Lights. Don’t miss the Alberta Legislature for a free tour and a glimpse into local history, or the Art Gallery of Alberta, showcasing fantastic Canadian and international artwork.
