An urban oasis in Alberta's Wild West, Edmonton is a city steeped in culture with plenty of stimulating sights and attractions to explore. Guests to Alberta's capital will take pleasure in the flexibility afforded them by the city's diverse places of interest.
There is always something going on in downtown Edmonton, particularly in the Arts District. In this hub of arts and culture, individuals seeking an enriching experience can enjoy a concert by the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra at the Francis Winspear Centre for Music, take in a theatrical performance at the Citadel Theatre or view the collection of over 5,000 regional, national and international works of art at the Art Gallery of Alberta. The district's heart, Sir Winston Churchill Square, is a favourite gathering place and hosts important celebrations such as the annual New Year's Eve party and many of the city's festivals. This area is also home to impressive and important buildings such as City Hall and the Alberta Legislature Building. Along 104th Street are numerous specialty stores and charming cafes and restaurants. This street also hosts the 104th Street City Market every Saturday during summer. Downtown is also home to Chinatown (97th Street) and the Avenue of Nations (107th Ave). In these multicultural areas, visitors will find abundant ethnic restaurants and stores.
Just west of downtown is one of Edmonton's oldest neighbourhoods, the Old Glenora District. This popular area is situated between 124th and 142nd streets, south of 107th Avenue, and offers stunning views of the North Saskatchewan River valley. Within this district, along 124th Street between Jasper and 111th avenues, visitors will find plenty one-of-a-kind shops, quaint cafes and elegant restaurants while strolling cobbled sidewalks.
