Things to do in Edmonton
Edmonton is Alberta’s capital city, known as the Gateway to the North and situated on the majestic North Saskatchewan River, with a population of over one million people.

The Old Strathcona district includes numerous theatres, the city’s largest indoor farmer’s market, and many independent stores, bars, and restaurants along Whyte Avenue. The city is also home to University of Alberta, McEwan University, West Edmonton Mall, Northern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium, and the Edmonton Oilers.
