Things to see and do in Yellowknife

Welcome to Yellowknife
Diamond Capital of North America

Helicopter View of Downtown Yellowknife
Our capital city is a great place to relax and play, bursting with colourful personalities, northern art, and recreational and cultural experiences. Soak up gold rush history or spend an afternoon at a Dene camp. Go golfing on a grassless course. Here in the traditional lands of the Dogrib and Yellowknives Dene you'll meet people from all the NWT regions and all Aboriginal groups: Dene, Metis and Inuvialuit. You'll also meet people from all over the world who make this small city their home. Visit the museum, and the Legislative Assembly, focal points for the capital region, along with the Northern Frontier Visitor's Centre. Shop for art and Canadian Arctic Diamonds, mined just a few hundred kilometres away. Dine out on catch of the day from pristine Great Slave Lake, or choose Muskox and Arctic Char, buffalo burgers or Baffin shrimp.
