Roaming Edmonton: Edmonton Street Car


If you’re looking for something a little different to do on an adventure out, the Edmonton Street Car is a really neat experience that you won’t get anywhere else!

The street car starts from the Alberta Arts Barn on Whyte Avenue and goes all the way to the Jasper Plaza. If you’re looking to get to the Legislature Grounds, the street car is one of the most fun ways to get there. It runs from May to October, so you have allllll summer and fall to go take a ride! Since it travels over the North Saskatchewan River, you’re bound to get amazing views. Apparently, the river crossing is the highest crossing by street car in the world, measuring in at 49 meters high. 


The boyfriend and I got on at the Alberta Arts Barn, and off at the Legislature during our weekend date. The inside of the street cars are well-maintained and so vintage. It’s such a unique experience, I doubt that there’s anywhere else near the city where you’re going yo find something like this. It gets pretty crowded though, so make sure you’re in line early!


I’m a huge fan of the street car, and I’m definitely going to be taking that trip again! Maybe I’ll go in fall when the sun starts setting a little earlier and I’ll try to get a glimpse of the sunset on. Top of the High Level Bridge. It’s such a great date idea, I’m dying to go again!!


Any of you ever taken the trip across the bridge?
