About Town of Banff
The Town of Banff is a small, walkable alpine community with a strong tourism focus—restaurants, gear shops, art galleries and parks line its streets. It also hosts visitor services, outfitting, shuttle connections and cultural venues such as the Banff Centre, making it a practical and pleasant base for exploring the national park.
Strolling Banff Avenue, sampling local cuisine, stocking up on cold-weather gear and joining guided tours are all part of the visitor experience. The town can be busy in high season, so plan parking or use the excellent ROAM transit system to reach trailheads and attractions.
