Edmonton - One Day Trip

Went on a one day trip to Edmonton last Sunday (flew from Vancouver). Here are a few tips: The best option getting in town from the airport (EIA) used to be the sky shuttle service, which unfortunately is currently suspended (Sep 2023). However the route 747 bus is quite convenient still if you can afford to wait a little (one per hour in the afternoon). Do remember to bring a $5 cash bill for the bus fare. Once arrive at Century Park (the bus/LRT transit hub), look for a Rexall drug store near by for the 10 ticket bus fare pack. The tickets are good for both bus and LRT trains. Validate the ticket by stamping it at the kiosk prior boarding the train. Downtown is rather compact and walkable. Art gallery, Library etc all within 5 mins walking distance. Ample food choices from western to decent Chinese dim sums. UA (University of Alberta) is also within a few LRT stops. Nice and sizable campus with lots of energy. There was a bit of smog in the city due to recent forest fires but eventually the sky cleared up amd the sun came out, nice. Next time will try check out West Edmonton mall and report back... #edmonton #alberta #canada
