Province of Alberta Travel Guide: 4,836 reviews and 10,030 photos

So much to do and see

Alberta's grandeur and beauty are obvious from the moment you arrive. With picturesque waterfalls in the Rocky Mountains, thousands of hectares of farmland in Alberta's Heartland and vast blue skies in Southern Alberta and Northern Alberta, it won't be long before you're awestruck by Alberta's diverse landscape.

But it's the people of Alberta that give the province its charm and fervour. Calgary, home of the Calgary Stampede, is known worldwide for its warm hospitality. Edmonton, the provincial capital, features first-rate attractions including West Edmonton Mall, the world's largest shopping and entertainment complex.

Not to be missed is Drumheller's Royal Tyrrell Museum of Palaeontology and Alberta's mountain areas including Banff, Jasper, Waterton Lakes, Canmore, Lake Louise and Kananaskis Country
