Banff Vacations

Located in the heart of the Alberta Rockies is Banff, one of the most scenic destinations in all of Canada. Banff is the largest town in Banff National Park, a treasure trove of mountains, bodies of water, and unforgettable landscapes. Whether you're after some outdoor adventure, local culture, or just want to experience the world-class vistas, Banff has a little something for just about everyone. Now, thanks to Banff vacation packages for AARP members, getting to Alberta for less is a possibility for retirees.

There is a distinctly different feel to winter and summer in Banff, but there is no shortage of year-round attractions to fill your days. Start by exploring the Cave and Basin National Historic Site, which is the official birthplace of the Canadian National Park System. Next, ride the Banff Gondola for spectacular views of the Rockies. Follow up with some time at the Banff Park Museum, where you can see some of the local wildlife, or learn more about the region at the Whyte Museum of the Canadian Rockies or the Banff Center. At night, Banff Avenue is a hub of activity, so head there for incredible farm-to-table dining and cocktails.
