Sprawled along the winding North Saskatchewan River, Edmonton is probably the major Canadian city that is closest to the wild and untamed northern part of the huge country. With lakes, national parks, and winter recreational facilities all around, the city definitely appeals to fans of the great outdoors. But there are also plenty of urban attractions for those who prefer the city life as Edmonton has a thriving theater community, lots of annual festivals, and plenty of sporting activities. Here are the top Airbnb vacation rental options in the city.

Canada is a huge but sparsely populated country, so while downtown Edmonton may be the densest part of the city, it still feels spacious and expansive instead of cramped. This one-bedroom apartment with free parking and wireless internet is located right by a light rail station, with convenience stores, restaurants and farmers’ markets nearby. Yet it feels like a quiet and private suburban area, with leafy trees along the main road lending a laid-back atmosphere. Just a couple of blocks away lies the colonial-style Alberta Legislature Building, with its beautiful grounds an ideal place to relax at any time of the year.

9. Accommodation near Edmonton Oilers arena (from USD 66)
Probably the city’s greatest claim to pop-culture fame is that it is home to the Edmonton Oilers professional ice hockey team, which dominated the National Hockey League in the 1980s, led by Wayne Gretzky, undoubtedly the greatest player to have played the sport. The Oilers’ new home arena, Rogers Place, is right in the heart of downtown Edmonton, and this cozy one-bedroom apartment is less than five minutes’ walk away from there. It is an ideal accommodation if you are a sports aficionado wanting to catch an ice hockey game. The unit is also close to many other amenities like bars, restaurants, and grocery stores.

Sprawling out from the dense downtown area, Edmonton’s suburbs are laid-back and expansive, with ample space for everyone.

This warm and welcoming guestroom in a quiet townhouse is in the Central McDougall district just north of downtown, and a short walk from the Kingsway Mall, the city’s second-largest mall with over 200 stores and services. The townhouse host has two bicycles that you can use to travel easily to the downtown attractions.
