Edmonton is the fifth-largest city in Canada and it’s known as the ‘Festival City’ as it hosts so many festivals throughout the year. Love of the arts makes it a cultural and educational place with plenty of opportunities to do some business too. You can also find the largest natural history museum in Canada and the largest shopping mall in North America.
Edmonton is one of the sunniest cities in the country, you can get splendid sunny days with 17 hours of daylight between June and August -the perfect time to pack for warm-weather activities. The rest of the year, bring a cozy jacket because Edmonton is the northernmost big city in North America, so it gets cold half of the year.
