    Use Edmonton as your base for exploring all that the central Alberta outdoors has to offer. Its river valley constitutes the longest stretch of connected urban parkland in North America and has the highest per capita area of parkland of any Canadian city. No wonder it's also become known as the "Ribbon of Green". Enjoy outdoor activities such as biking, cross-country skiing, outdoor skating, and golfing at one of Edmonton’s seventy golf courses!

    Without having to repack your bags, enjoy a day trip to rich historical sites, experience rich arts and culture or spend time shopping at one of North America’s largest mall, West Edmonton Mall.

    With so much to do, Edmonton can be the ideal choice for a family vacation, a corporate retreat or a solo getaway anytime of the year.
