Banff Avenue
Melhor época para visitar
Early evening after 6 PM, when day trippers have disappeared and the lights begin to turn on around the trees. In winter, early December brings an ice sculpture exhibition that turns the street into an art gallery.
Dicas para economizar
Walking on the street itself is free, and there are plenty of free photo opportunities along the roadside. Parking costs about 3-5 dollars per hour, and it is worth using the free village shuttle bus during the winter months.
Recomendado para
Couples, Photography enthusiasts, Families, Budget travelers

Sobre
Fatos rápidos: Esta rua principal de três quilômetros de extensão é o coração do Parque Nacional de Banff, ladeada por edifícios com mais de cem anos. Os visitantes são atraídos por mais de 200 lojas e restaurantes, e a rua recebe anualmente mais de 15 festivais diferentes.
Destaques: A maioria dos turistas não percebe os antigos portões de gado no extremo leste da rua, pelos quais os fazendeiros conduziam seu gado através da vila antigamente. No meio do inverno, a rua é iluminada por milhares de luzes LED azuis, que fazem a neve brilhar como em um túnel de conto de fadas.
Dicas de quem conhece
- Skip the busiest central section and head to the north end of the street, where you will find authentic local boutiques instead of tourist traps.
- Bring waterproof shoes in spring, as melting snow makes the sidewalks small streams in places.
- The best photo opportunity appears at 4 PM in winter, when the last rays of the sun paint Cascade Mountain pink at the end of the street.
- Leave your car further away at the Banff Avenue parking garage, where the price is a fraction of the downtown street level rates.
