Located just a 90-minute drive from Calgary, the park – which is in the middle of the Canadian Rockies – may be the ideal way for people on Canada bus tours to get away from it all. And with Banff spanning more than 2,500 sq m, escaping the pressures of modern-day living could not be easier.

Holidaymakers who enjoy taking in a little culture while on a trip could find Banff to be the perfect destination for them. Established in the latter stages of the 19th century by John Macdonald, the prime minister of Canada at the time, the national park was the first to be created in the country. However, those wishing for a more active adventure tour experience will find plenty of things to do in Banff. Mountaineering enthusiasts may particularly want to visit during the summer months, when they will be able to scale a significant portion of the central Canadian Rockies, with Cascade Mountain and Mount Rundle among the peaks that can be climbed.
