ALBERTA



Located in the heart of western Canada, Alberta is bordered by the Canadian Rocky Mountains to the west and the prairies of Saskatchewan to the east. Full of extraordinary adventures, urban charms and cultural jewels, a holiday in Alberta is a unique adventure worth experiencing.

Alberta’s capital, Edmonton, which traces its roots back to 1795, started out as a fur-trading outpost. Just over 100 years later, during the 1897 Klondike Gold Rush prospectors boosted Edmonton’s fortune as they stopped in Edmonton for supplies en route to the Yukon. Many would also make Edmonton their permanent home increasing the population to six times its previous size.

Edmonton is also one of Canada’s sunniest cities with about 2,300 hours of sunshine per year. In June, the city enjoys up to 17 hours of daylight per day.

Marvel at Alberta's number one attraction -- West Edmonton Mall, with its nine theme park attractions. Celebrate the spirit of Edmonton Festival City at dozens of year-round festivals and special events. Explore Canada's largest living history park -- Fort Edmonton Park and many other attractions, such as the Royal Alberta Museum, Muttart Conservatory, the Alberta Legislature Building, and TELUS World of Science Edmonton.

Take a day trip to nearby attractions such as the Devonian Botanic Garden or the Ukrainian Cultural Heritage Village. Discover an abundance of wildlife at Elk Island National Park within a few minutes drive of the city. Enjoy a nature walk, voyageur canoe ride, gold panning, jet-boating and other recreational activities year-round in the longest stretch of urban parkland in Canada, the North Saskatchewan River valley.

Experience the eclectic shops, cafes, nightclubs, theatres and attractions of the Old Strathcona, voted one of the five coolest neighbourhoods in Canada.  A portion of the Old Strathcona district has been designated a Provincial Historic Area.
Enjoy the cultural attractions in Edmonton's Arts District downtown.
