With a lively downtown, world-class cuisine, and accessible outdoor adventures, it\u2019s easy to see why so many people come to Banff for a visit and then just never leave. There\u2019s so much to see and do in Canada\u2019s most famous national park that it would truly take a lifetime to experience it all.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although Banff is a popular tourist destination year-round, insiders know that spring is the best time to visit. The summer crowds have yet to descend\u2014meaning you won\u2019t have to fight for parking or restaurant reservations. Banff\u2019s mild spring weather gives visitors a unique opportunity to experience both summer and winter activities in the same day\u2014think a sunrise ski session followed by an afternoon hike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This ultimate guide to Banff National Park is designed to help you craft your perfect itinerary, no matter how long your vacation is. Make planning a snap by using Banff & Lake Louise Tourism\u2019s travel planning tool<\/a>, which allows you to save experiences, accommodations, and restaurants to an interactive map.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to Get to Banff<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Downtown
Caroline Morse-Teel<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Banff is a scenic 90-minute drive from Calgary International Airport, a major hub where you\u2019ll find many direct flights from numerous cities. Once you arrive, renting a car will give you the most flexibility. There are a number of rental car agencies at the airport to choose from.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, if you\u2019d rather relax and enjoy the scenery rather than deal with driving, there are multiple shuttles available<\/a> that will take you directly from the airport to downtown Banff and beyond.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Note that all visitors to Banff National Park will need to pay a park admission fee<\/a>, which costs $10.50 per day for adults. If you\u2019re driving, make sure you display your park pass to prevent getting ticketed.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n

The Best Things to Do in Banff<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Banff comes alive in spring when a number of attractions reopen for the year. This is the best season for multi-sport adventures as the snow melts at lower elevations, opening up hiking trails, while the ski resorts remain open nearly to the end of May thanks to a healthy stash of powder high up on the mountains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These are the best things to do in Banff in the spring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Discover Banff & Its Wildlife Tour<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"Discover<\/a>
Discover Banff Tours<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Hop on the Discover Banff & Its Wildlife Tour<\/a> when you first arrive in the national park. This scenic bus tour is the perfect first-day activity as it gives you a great overview of the area\u2019s history and helps orient you with the layout of the area. If you\u2019re lucky, you might even catch a glimpse of some of the town\u2019s resident wildlife.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ski Day at Banff Sunshine Village<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"Snowy<\/a>
Caroline Morse-Teel<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

With a seven-month ski season that runs from early November until late May, Banff Sunshine Village<\/a> boasts the longest non-glacial ski season in Canada. Set in the heart of the Canadian Rockies (but just a 15-minute drive or shuttle from town), Sunshine Village offers incredible mountain views from every run. With 145 trails spread out over three peaks, you\u2019ll never wait more than a few minutes for a lift\u2014and on a spring day, you\u2019ll have plenty of runs all to yourself.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since Sunshine Village averages up to 30 feet of snow in a season, there will still be plenty of powder to play in during the spring.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bike the Bow Valley Parkway<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"Mountains<\/a>
Caroline Morse-Teel<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Under a new pilot program, a 10-mile section of the jaw-droppingly scenic Bow Valley Parkway<\/a> is closed to all public motor vehicles from May 1 to May 25 and September 1 to September 30. During this time, the highway transforms into a peaceful paved path exclusive to cyclists and pedestrians.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not a regular bike rider? Don\u2019t let the length intimidate you. An e-bike tour will let you ride the entire path (no matter your fitness level). Book a private tour with locally-owned tour company Bikescape<\/a> and you can go at your own pace (they can also come bail you out at pickup points along the road if you do get tired). Bikescape has state-of-the-art e-bikes that will let you put in as little (or as much) pedaling effort as you like.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On your ride, keep your eyes peeled for wildlife sightings, and leave plenty of time for photo stops (opportunities present themselves around practically every bend in the road).\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Banff Gondola<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"Gondolas<\/a>

During springtime, hiking trails at higher elevations are still snow-covered, but you can still get a bird\u2019s eye view of Banff on a trip up the Banff Gondola<\/a>. The gondola smoothly whisks you up 2,292 feet to the summit of Sulphur Mountain, where you\u2019ll have panoramic views of six mountain ranges.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After the gondola drops you off, head past the 360-degree observation and follow the boardwalk to Sanson\u2019s Peak for the most breathtaking views.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lake Louise Lakeshore Trail<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"People<\/a>
Caroline Morse-Teel<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Lake Louise\u2019s<\/a> world-famous emerald waters may still be hidden under a layer of ice and snow depending on when in the spring you visit, but this iconic destination is equally beautiful when frozen. Leave the crowds at the entrance behind and walk the Lakeshore trail, a just over a three-mile flat path that\u2019s accessible year-round. You\u2019ll be rewarded with peace and quiet, plus a different vantage point of the lake from what you normally see.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tunnel Mountain Hike<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"Panorama<\/a>
Caroline Morse-Teel<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

If you want bragging rights but are short on time, a hike up Tunnel Mountain<\/a> will offer you the most bang for your buck. As the smallest official mountain in Banff, the summit of Tunnel Mountain can be reached in under an hour, so you don\u2019t have to devote a whole day to your hike. Sweeping views of Banff and the surrounding mountains are your reward for making the climb.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The trailhead can be walked to from downtown Banff and is popular with locals\u2014so you won\u2019t find solitude on this hike (but you also won\u2019t need to bring bear spray).\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Forest Bathing<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"Woman<\/a>

Getting outside in Banff doesn\u2019t always have to involve physical exertion. If you\u2019re looking to work out your mind instead of your body, Forest Bathing might be the experience for you. (Don\u2019t worry, swimsuits aren\u2019t required.) The practice of Forest Bathing originated in Japan, where people head into the woods to relax and recharge by mentally soaking in nature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Forest Bathing session with Forest Fix<\/a> will take you into quiet areas around Banff, where you\u2019ll be led through guided meditations to help you find your inner peace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Best Restaurants in Banff<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019ll find a variety of restaurants in Banff to suit every craving, from cozy takeout places serving up Canada\u2019s famous poutine to lively distilleries pouring craft cocktails. These are the best restaurants in Banff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Park Distillery Restaurant & Bar<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If you want a true taste of Canada, order Park Distillery\u2019s Maple Rye whiskey, made with Queb\u00e9c maple and Alberta rye. A working distillery in the heart of downtown Banff, Park Distillery Restaurant & Bar<\/a> serves up some of the best cocktails in town. Enjoy a drink on the restaurant\u2019s sunny upper patio, where you can people-watch amidst an epic mountain backdrop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brazen<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Fuel up for a day of adventures at Brazen<\/a>, one of the best places to get breakfast in Banff. Brunch is served daily and includes options for a healthy start (like a yogurt parfait with homemade preserves) or an indulgent one (such as the French toast with a miso caramel drizzle and rum-soaked raisins).\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Deer Lodge<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re out in the Lake Louise region of Banff National Park around dinner time, stopping for a meal at Deer Lodge<\/a> is a must. The cozy log cabin dining room offers a farm-to-table menu that\u2019s influenced by Rocky Mountain cuisine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dishes change frequently based on what\u2019s in season\u2014but if you happen to be there when the homemade ice cream is available, get it (trust us).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hello Sunshine<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A lively restaurant with private karaoke rooms may not be where you would think you\u2019d find the best sushi in Banff, but Hello Sunshine<\/a> really does have it all. This local-favorite hotspot serves modern Japanese cuisine alongside old standbys, so you can get everything from a traditional sushi roll to lobster fried rice.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Looking for a more low-key meal? Hello Sunshine also does takeout, so you can get that poke bowl to go and then head somewhere more tranquil for a picnic.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Chimney Corner<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Is a restaurant at a ski resort really worthy of making it on a list of the best restaurants in Banff? It is if it\u2019s Chimney Corner<\/a> at Sunshine Village. This eatery is a world away from the soggy heat-lamp french fries and chicken finger cuisine you find at most ski resorts.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chimney Corner\u2019s elevated offerings include a protein power plate (quinoa, fried feta cubes, avocado, and roasted peppers) that wouldn\u2019t be out of a place in a fine dining restaurant. Enjoy a meal on the sunny deck overlooking the slopes, and feel powered up (rather than weighed down) for your apr\u00e8s-lunch runs.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Three Bears Brewery<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"Dining<\/a>
Three Bears Brewery & Restaurant<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Three Bears Brewery<\/a> calls itself both a \u201crestaurant in a brewery\u201d and a \u201cbrewery in a restaurant,\u201d because it puts equal emphasis on the food and the drinks. Watch the beer being made at the brewery in the back and then sample the suds as you feast on a hearty selection of eclectic cuisine, like a beer-brined chicken Caesar salad or a pizza made with a unique dough that\u2019s reverse ice water fermented.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where to Stay in Banff<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Book a room at the Mount Royal Hotel<\/a> to be at the heart of it all in Banff. With a prime location on downtown\u2019s bustling Banff Avenue, the Mount Royal puts you within easy walking distance to all of the best restaurants, bars, and shops in town.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n

The hotel has on-site parking (a huge perk for Banff) and is also located right next to a stop for the town\u2019s Roam shuttle in case you want to leave the car behind.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The icing on top of it all? The hot tubs on the Mount Royal\u2019s rooftop, where you can soak tired muscles while taking in the mountain views.<\/p>\n\n\n\t

How to Get Around Banff<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re visiting Banff in a busier season, such as summer, taking public transportation is highly recommended over driving. Parking spaces at many popular attractions are limited, and you could face long wait times just to get into places like Lake Louise. Smart travelers reserve a Parks Canada shuttle<\/a> ahead of time to guarantee their seats.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can get to all of Banff\u2019s best attractions on the affordable Roam public bus<\/a>, which runs on a regular schedule. The Roam bus also accepts advance reservations<\/a> on certain routes.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
