Edmonton

Edmonton today is a growing city. The population of Edmonton is about a million people and the city is located in the heart of Alberta. Edmonton has a NHL hockey called the Edmonton Oilers. You may have heard of them.

In the summer, Edmonton has many festivals, over 30 per year actually. You can take a look here -> Edmonton Festivals and see for yourself the large selection of events to go to. The city also has a big motor sports interest which includes a drag strip and a place on the INDY circuit.

From music to great restaurants, Edmonton has a lot to offer for tourists and Edmontonians alike. Horse racing and the famous West Edmonton Mall are a great way to spend a day.

This capital city has many trails and walking paths to get some fresh air. On rainy days, you can visit the Royal Alberta museum or perhaps the Edmonton space and science center to catch an IMAX show.

Music wise, there is something for everyone in Edmonton. The music scene is huge. From country to metal, you can listen to live bands almost every day of the week. Just pick a venue and check it out. I would place Edmonton as one of the best cities in the world to stay entertained in. There is absolutely just too much to do; so much in fact that it is sometimes difficult to decide what to do.

In the winter, there are sky hills and ice rinks to go out and freeze your butt on. Buy or rent some skies, go out and have the time of your life.

Edmonton is well laid out and easy to travel in. Most of the roads make sense and addresses are easy to find. Even the newest citizens rarely get lost getting from one side of the city to the other. This makes Edmonton very special compared to some other cities that can be a nightmare to drive in unless you really know your streets and directions. Currently, the city of Edmonton is in the middle of placing many overpasses to further improve mobility. Once complete, Edmonton should rank as one of the easiest cities to navigate in Canada.

The citizens of Edmonton are beautiful, caring people. Ask for directions and you’ll get them. People care about each other in this city and it shows with a low crime rate.

Come out and visit Edmonton when you get the chance. You will not regret it!
