Edmonton holidays - Lively, fun and modern

A popular choice for families, this contemporary city is full of fantastic attractions, including one of the largest shopping centres in the world, innovative restaurants. Edmonton is perhaps mostly known as a stopover on the way to Jasper, but we feel it really holds its own as a worthy location thanks to its boutique shops and sophisticated dining scene.
