2. Alberta Legislature Building

Occupying the site where Fort Edmonton once stood, this Edwardian-style building is the seat of Alberta's government. Built of sandstone and furnished with mahogany and marble, the impressive building is an Edmonton landmark. A visitor center orients tourists on the history of the province and the workings of parliamentary procedure. Free tours of the building are available hourly each morning and every half-hour in the afternoon. The landscaped gardens, complete with flowers, greenery and fountains, are an ideal place to catch your breath or have a take-out lunch. The on-site gift shop sells film, postage stamps, Alberta crafts, and many other gift and specialty items.   (© 10Best)
