Introduction

Banff is "Canada's Highest Town". It's a unique place to visit. A train whistle blows in the distance as a reminder of the area's railway roots while designer shops dot the streetscapes. From a sleepy summer resort town that used to close its doors in the winter months, Lured by the wilderness and the variety of outdoor activities, people from all over the world are drawn to Banff National Park each year.
They venture into the area looking for their slice of the Banff experience, whether it's in the restaurants, shops, museums, cultural activities, or adventures in the wilderness. Yet only minutes away from all the action, a quiet walk along the banks of the Bow River reminds you that the town is located inside Canada's premier national park and a United Nations World Heritage Site!
