TransCanadaHighway.com Edmonton, Alberta
Edmonton is a charming city of about 800,000 people. The Central attraction of
the city is the deep, wide North Saskatchewan River Valley that carves its way
through the city. Edmonton's downtown overlooks the north bank of the river,
and its charming Old Strathcona historical and shopping & entertainment
district (and the well-regarded University of
Alberta) overlooks the south bank.
Edmonton is more famous for it being the home of the West Edmonton Mall, the
largest shopping mall in the world, with over 800 stores and services. The WEM is located in the city's west end,
and it seems all freeways point in its direction. The mall has the world's
largest parking lot, indoor wave pool, indoor waterslide, indoor rollercoaster,
indoor navy (4 submarines and a couple of boats), to name a few "world's bests."
There's even a hotel in the Mall, as well as its own nightlife district
(Bourbon Street) to make shopping even easier.
Whether it's the botanical gardens, an art gallery or its beautiful riverside, Edmonton offers its visitors and residents lots to do every day of the week.
