EDMONTON, ALBERTA: CITY ESCAPES

Edmonton, the capital city of Alberta, is renowned as the "city of festivals" for its numerous art and music festivals and its scenic river valley. It is home of the world's largest shopping and entertainment centre, West Edmonton Mall and the unique Muttart Conservatory, which houses over 500 varieties of exotic plants and flowers in three glass pyramids in the North Saskatchewan River Valley. Edmonton offers a diversity of options for indoor and outdoor activities including such favourites as shopping from the various international stores at West Edmonton Mall to Whyte Avenue, with its unique craft and gift shops along side fashion-forward clothing boutiques and cozy cafes. The Old Strathcona Farmer's market is a great place to spend the day and sample homemade treats and handicrafts produced by local farmers and artisans. For those interested in history, Fort Edmonton Park, reputed to be Canada's largest historical park, is a must-see. In the summer, take a scenic ride down the North Saskatchewan River on the Edmonton Queen Riverboat for a different view of the city. Edmonton is also the gateway to Alberta's many historical and recreational attractions such as Jasper National Park where you can enjoy skiing or fly fishing in northern Alberta's lakes. Visitors will be impressed by all that the city has to offer with its assortment of attractions and warm hospitality.
