Edmonton City Overview (Go to the Edmonton Sport Hotels Section)

Alberta's provincial capital, Edmonton is among Canada's most northerly cities. Situated above the waters of the North Saskatchewan River, whose park-filled valley winds below the high-rises of downtown, the city provides many festivals, parks, restaurants and urban-renewal projects. With a downtown area still has the a little bit of the feel of a frontier town, the premier attraction for the vast majority of visitors is a shopping centre, the infamous West Edmonton Mall.

Downtown has a number of great sights, perhaps the most enjoyment in the city is to be had in Old Strathcona, a rejuvenated "historic" district south of the North Saskatchewan River filled with heritage buildings, modest museums and plenty of eating and drinking venues.

Edmonton Alberta has great opportunities for sport tournaments of all kinds. Sport tourism is a part of Edmonton Alberta and it features hockey, basketball, soccer, baseball, lacrosse and most all sports played in Canada. Edmonton is home to professional sport teams and wide range of amateur sport clubs, it is a truly outstanding tournament city..
