Take the city bus to get around, or make use of the Light Rail Transit (LRT). Buses and trains are affordable and fairly frequent. The vintage-style streetcars operating between May and September offer a novel way to cross the High Level Bridge. Visit the [Edmonton Transit System](https://www.edmonton.ca/edmonton-transit-system-ets.aspx) website.Browse [Edmonton rental cars](https://www.expedia.com/Car-Rentals-In-Edmonton.d180002.Car-Rental-Guide). ## Best time to visit Summers in Edmonton can get very busy, but they undoubtedly have the best weather, with daytime temperatures of around 62 F (17 C). There are plenty of festivals and events to enjoy in the warmer months, too. For a more peaceful break, visit in late spring instead. Daytime temperatures at this time of year tend to be in the low 50s F (28 C and below), so do make sure you pack warm clothes. ### Popular places to visit ![West Edmonton Mall showing a fountain, shopping and interior views](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/501027/4862c987-cbb0-4b98-8137-18ccfc9ddb83.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=900&h=506&q=mediumHigh) #### West Edmonton Mall 4.5/5(176 reviews) Take the family to the largest mall in North America, with over 800 stores, restaurants, amusement parks, theaters, gyms, a petting zoo, an ice palace and aquarium.
