Edmonton’s downtown is the most diverse section of the city. It is an exciting combination of culture, arts, and business. With a plethora of new developments standing in contrast to the heritage buildings that line Jasper Avenue the downtown core offers something for all tastes and desires. People venture from all over to experience fine dining, festivals, new cultures, and business opportunities. Downtown Edmonton is a host to the Alberta Legislature, entertainment venues, educational institutions, diverse shopping options, and of course fantastic people. Situated right next to the river valley; anyone who needs a break from the hustle of a busy urban centre is only steps away from extensive trails and gorgeous views which offer a perfect escape.
