Walking into the town of Banff is almost like walking into a Canadian-inspired Disneyland. Everything in and around this city is geared towards tourists – pubs, restaurants, novelty stores… And who know what? After several days of skiing or hiking and enjoying the great outdoors, you just might enjoy this little break from natural attractions. Located close to all the major attractions of the Rockies, Banff is a great place to meet people and make new friends. Have fun!
- Pros:Very lively
- Cons:Very touristy
- In a nutshell:A nice contrast to the quietness of Jasper

Looks like a great place for skiing and hiking!
I stayed at that hostel when I was there in 2005! Love Banff and love to return somedayx
nice tips on one of the better known national parks of Canada.
Greetings!
A very picturesque setting. I bet it inspired you to do much writing.
Great pictures! I may be heading towards Banff late summer - thanks for the tips!
Banff Springs Hotel reminds me of Fairmont Le Chateau Frontenac in Quebec! Lake Louise is a "must do" place one day! So beautiful. Cheers, Joe.
Hope you had a great birthday!
Great tips and information, and your photos are fantastic. You make it all very appealing!
Very good pages. I red in one book about Banff but this is much much better, of course ;-).
