Take a trip to Banff on your Canada vacation.
From the sparkle of the snow-capped Canadian Rockies to the shimmering surface of turquoise-blue glacial lakes, Banff lives up to its reputation as one of Canada’s most beautiful destinations. Millions of tourists per year flock to the resort town in search of their own personal paradise, whether that looks like shredding the slopes, relaxing in a bubbling hot spring, or mountain biking through broad valleys. Hiking trails are boundless, bringing you deep into alpine forests where the fresh scent of pine and birds chirping greets your senses. From Banff, day trips to Lake Louise or Lake Minnewanka are great options, where you can kayak into their crystal-clear reflections in warmer months or skate gracefully across a winter wonderland in colder ones.
While the main attractions may lie in the dramatic mountain inclines and breathtaking hiking views that surround it, the town of Banff is a cultural gem in its own right. Indie coffee shops and local boutiques contribute to a strong community spirit, where you can find fairtrade ingredients and Canadian designers alike. Restaurants combine regional and international flavours to bring you a number of delightful dining options that will suit even the pickiest eaters, whether you’re in search of après-ski fare or a dressy affair. Public art displays are scattered throughout the picturesque village-like streets, on which you may find yourself strolling alongside deer who also enjoy a good night out on the town.
