We all use Instagram for a variety of reasons (showcase our food, cat(s), selfies etc.). It’s basically a visual diary that reflects our aesthetic and gives us a chance to connect with people that actually give a sh!t about what we post.
And if you were wanting to improve your feed and give off the illusion of being super cool (or perhaps--unlike with me, it’s an accurate portrayal in your case), there’s a tonne of cool spots in YEG that will add some some flair to your photos.
Here’s a few of the many super photogenic/unique locations in Edmonton that will help you step up your IG game. #YEG #Instafamous
Alberta Legislature Building
This is an architecturally beautiful building, situated on gorgeous well-kept grounds. So, it’s easy to snap a great photo in this area. You even have the symmetrical row of fountains in front of the building. It’s all so perfect.

The brick wall of this market has proven to be a popular backdrop for a lot of Edmonontian Ingstagrammers. Another popular spot is the murals or street art on and/or near the building.
