Best Things to Do in Banff

Banff National Park packs an astonishing range of experiences into a relatively small area. Whether you have a single day or a full week, the challenge is choosing what to fit in.

Start with the icons: Lake Louise, Moraine Lake and the Banff Gondola. Then layer in wildlife spotting along the Bow Valley Parkway, a soak in the Banff Upper Hot Springs, and a stroll down Banff Avenue for dinner and local shopping.

If you're short on time, a guided sightseeing tour is the most efficient way to tick off the highlights without the stress of parking, navigation and timed shuttle reservations.
