Tourist information for Edmonton & Area, and getaways

[ Full Accommodation Search Form ]

There is lots to see and do around Edmonton in the city. The city has a fascinating history. There are over 25 museums, lots of parks and river-side greenspace, and activities and sports to keep anybody busy (and happy). We even have a page that has tips on hundreds of things to do with kids.

There's more to Edmonton than just Edmonton and Jasper. Check out the smaller towns around the city. Head out to Saint Albert (shown). Or you can head east to Sherwood Park on the western edge of Elk Island National Park, or south to Leduc and Alberta's farm country.

Of course if you want to check out Jasper, Banff and the Alberta & BC Rockies, FoundLocally has a site just for you!

There are many accommodation options in the area, from first class hotels, to motels, beds & breakfast, long-term accommodation, and camping.

We even have lots of tips for getting away, including other countries' Online Travel Offices, links to travel guidebooks' web sites. We even have links to sites that can help you plan a honeymoon, eloped wedding, or romantic getaway. To round things out we have information about Canada & US Customs, a listing of Canadian embassies and consulates around the world, and an overview of our airport(s) and links to airports around the world (so you can check what to do during connections between flights)
