A prestigious travel publication has named Edmonton one of 30 must-travel destinations globally in 2025.
Lonely Planet selected YEG as a top city in its highly anticipated Best in Travel. The accolade celebrates the publication’s predictions for where to go in the year ahead. It spotlights YEG as a premier travel destination, showcasing its diverse communities, rich history, and vibrant spirit and culture.
Edmonton was the only Canadian city to make the list.
“Edmonton, Alberta, has long been celebrated for its fringe festival and bohemian Old Strathcona district,” Lonely Planet writes.
“Today, the city is doubling down on its downtown with the opening of the Ice District, the second-largest sports and entertainment complex in North America. Further enrich your visit by learning about Indigenous history at Royal Alberta Museum’s Human History Hall.”
Lonely Planet’s Best in Travel starts with nominations from Lonely Planet’s community of staff, contributors from around the world, publishing partners, and more.
Explore Edmonton said YEG is continuing to grow as a tourist destination and anticipates an increase in tourism in the coming year.
