Edmonton, Alberta Hotels and City Guide

Edmonton - Attractions

Time Off

Known as the "Oil Capital of Canada", Edmonton has many facets which surprise and delight the first-time visitor. Although the city is Western Canada's transit and business hub, Edmonton also has more theatre groups for its size than any other city in the country and is the venue for many popular cultural events and arts festivals. It is not only home to the world's largest shopping center, West Edmonton Mall, but it is also well known for its scenic river valley. In addition, the busy downtown area of the city is just a picturesque drive from Alberta's Rocky Mountains.
