Alberta’s concert capital
Modern and upbeat, Edmonton is often overshadowed by charismatic Calgary. But dig a little deeper and the Canadian city is full of surprises. Sitting on the banks of the North Saskatchewan River, it’s dotted with contemporary landmarks. The highly anticipated Rogers Place has put Edmonton on the international map, hosting everything from music concerts to ice hockey matches. If you’ve scored tickets to an event, why not stay local with Edmonton vacation rentals just steps from the arena? Beyond its urban attractions, Edmonton is a popular stopover for travelers en route to Jasper National Park.
Food trucks and trendsetters in Edmonton
Anchored by a bubbling fountain, Sir Winston Churchill Square is Edmonton’s busiest public space. It’s a great place to people-watch, or challenge a stranger to a game of giant chess. When hunger pangs hit, head to 124 Grand Market for a smorgasbord of food trucks. And one you’ve explored the downtown district, you’ll love upbeat Whyte Avenue in the historic Old Strathcona quarter. It sits on the south side of the river and is lined with an eclectic mix of cafés, bars, and theatres. You’ll also find a great selection of Edmonton vacation rentals in the area.
A glimpse of colonial Canada
Dating back to 1846, Fort Edmonton Park is a living history museum that offers visitors a fascinating glimpse at life in colonial Canada. Meanwhile, with its glass facades, zinc ribbons, and stainless-steel sail, the Art Gallery of Alberta is one of Canada’s most ambitious buildings. Inside is a treasure trove of art, including First Nations masterpieces. The Royal Alberta Museum is another cultural highlight, while – if you want to venture further afield – Edmonton is an easy day trip to the Ukrainian Cultural Village and Elk Island National Park.
Fringe Festival fun in Edmonton
Second only to Edinburgh, Edmonton throws one of the biggest Fringe Festivals on the planet. Spanning many dynamic days in August, it sees almost half a million people descend on Old Strathcona. Summer also brings other global events like the International Street Performers Festival. Hockey season runs from October to April, with Edmonton Oilers fans descending on the city. If you’re traveling as a group, Edmonton vacation rentals are the perfect way to keep your crew together.
A gateway to the Rockies
Surrounded by rolling hills, steep ravines, and deep river valleys, Edmonton is part of the Canadian Prairies Ecozone. It’s built on the banks of the North Saskatchewan River, which flows from Jasper’s mighty Columbia Icefield. The Canadian Rockies sit to the southwest, which makes Edmonton a popular stop-off point for travelers heading to Banff, Jasper, and beyond. It may be known as an oil and gas city, but Edmonton doesn’t scrimp on green space, with urban parkland lining either side of the river.
