Discover the vibrant pulse of Edmonton, Canada’s northern capital and a top global destination for 2025, where the world’s largest urban parkland—the North Saskatchewan River Valley—sprawls across 22 times the size of New York’s Central Park with endless trails for hiking, biking, or winter cross-country skiing, the legendary West Edmonton Mall dazzles as North America’s biggest with an indoor waterpark, amusement park, ice rink, and over 800 stores under one roof, and the city hosts more than 50 festivals annually—from the massive Edmonton International Fringe Theatre Festival to the Folk Music Festival and Indigenous celebrations—earning its title as Canada’s Festival City.
Explore the immersive Royal Alberta Museum with its Indigenous history and natural exhibits, catch an Edmonton Oilers NHL game at Rogers Place in the Ice District, or venture to nearby Elk Island National Park for bison herds and dark-sky stargazing—all in a welcoming, multicultural city that blends big-city excitement with boreal wilderness and warm Albertan hospitality.
Savor hearty perogies, green onion cakes, Alberta beef, and craft beers from a booming brewery scene amid lively markets, river valley sunsets, and the unmistakable energy of a city that’s young, creative, and always ready for the next adventure.
