The City
Edmonton feels oddly dispersed, even in the six-block downtown area around Sir Winston Churchill Square and along the main east-west drag, Jasper Avenue (101st Ave). Bounded to the south by the North Saskatchewan River, this grid holds a few assorted points of interest, though much of the younger and more cosmopolitan Edmonton resides south of the river in Old Strathcona . For the West Edmonton Mall , the Space and Science Centre , and the Provincial Museum , you'll need to take transport west from downtown. To stretch your legs, wander up and down the big string of attractive parks that protects the river, or cross the Low Level Bridge to the Muttart Conservatory , another worthwhile sight consisting of four space-age glass pyramids filled with flora and natural-history displays.
