Overview
Its river valley is the largest stretch of connected urban parkland in North America, with more than 160 kilometers of trails for walking, cycling, and skiing. Parks, picnic spots, and river access sit right in the heart of the city.
Beyond the green valley, the city offers the Royal Alberta Museum, the living-history streets of Fort Edmonton Park, and the grand Alberta Legislature. West Edmonton Mall holds more than 800 stores and the world's largest indoor wave pool.
The river valley holds more than 160 kilometers of trails through forest and parkland, right in the middle of the city. Walk or cycle past viewpoints, picnic spots, and the river itself.
Tip: Ride the free downtown funicular down to the trails to save a steep climb.
This open-air museum recreates the city's past across four eras, from an 1846 fur-trade fort to streets from 1885, 1905, and 1920. Costumed interpreters, a steam train, and horse-drawn wagons bring it to life.
Tip: Allow at least half a day, as the park covers 158 acres of wooded ground.
The province's largest museum tells Alberta's natural and human story, from dinosaurs and wildlife to Indigenous cultures and settler history. Two large history halls anchor the visit, with changing exhibits alongside.
Tip: Start with the natural history hall, then move through the cultural galleries.
The grand Beaux-Arts legislature building, completed in 1913, sits in landscaped grounds above the river valley. Free guided tours explain the province's government and the building's art and architecture.
Tip: Check tour times in advance, as registration is required for guided visits.
With more than 800 stores, the world's largest indoor wave pool, and 17 waterslides, the giant mall is a destination in itself. It also holds an amusement park, an aquarium, and a skating rink.
Tip: Pick one or two attractions in advance, since the mall is far too big to see in a day.
The historic main street of the old town of Strathcona is lined with heritage buildings, independent shops, cafes, and bars. It is the liveliest evening walk in the city, especially in summer.
Tip: Ride the vintage streetcar across the High Level Bridge for a scenic arrival.
