Edmonton, Alberta’s capital city, is rapidly growing and a popular tourist destination. No matter the season, there is something to do in and around the city.
With its location along the North Saskatchewan River, Edmonton offers plenty of outdoor adventures year-round.

Whether you’re a fan of winter activities or want to take advantage of warm summers, there’s no shortage of things to do every season in Edmonton.
