With an endless supply of attractions, festivals, and events, there’s no shortage of excitement to fill your stay - whether it’s 20 degrees above or below.

From a secret bar hidden behind an armoire to 5-star dining in a castle, it’s not hard to see why one of Canada’s youngest and fastest growing capital cities received culinary recognition by publications like Forbes, En Route Magazine, Travel Curator and more. We invite you to come hungry for food, adventure, or both.

When the summer heats up, act like a local and soak up over 17 hours of sunlight on one of the city’s legendary patios. When the snow starts to fall, put on a parka and embrace the fun of winter in North America’s largest urban parkland, the North Saskatchewan River Valley.
