Designed in 1992 by Edmonton architect Gene Dub, Edmonson’s city hall combines old with new by incorporating some of the old marble and granite from the old City Hall building into the newer building. It serves as a public gathering space year-round, with water fountains in the summer and an ice rink in front during the winter months.

Address: 1 Sir Winston Churchill Square

One of the most iconic buildings in Edmonton, the Alberta Legislature building commands attention and authority with elements of Greek, Roman, and Egyptian design. Its interior is just as striking, with a large rotunda connecting each wing of the building and imported marble, mahogany, oak, and brass throughout.

We love the tranquil vibes of the Aga Khan Garden at the Univeristy of Alberta Botanic Gardens, and the Diwan Pavillion anchors the space beautifully. It serves as a warm and welcoming place for people of all ages and backgrounds, and it looks stunning in photos!
