No matter how much its arts and culture scene grows, people often still think “oil” when they hear “Edmonton”. And sure, it’s the capital of Alberta, Canada’s oil province, but there’s so much more to this city than meets the eye – and its best bits have nothing at all to do with oil.

Here, we’ve got its most famous spots, as well as some of its lesser-known gems. Here are the best things to do in Edmonton right now.
