Banff Springs Hotel
Banff Visitor Centre

I think it's best to visit the center in the morning around 9:00 AM. It gets busy later, and you’ll have more time to ask questions and get local tips before heading out!

My advice is to ask the staff about hidden gems in the park. They shared an awesome local trail with me that wasn't in any of the tourist guides.

If you're looking to save some cash, grab the map and suggested itineraries from the visitor center instead of buying pricey guidebooks. Totally worth it.
Banff Pedestrian Bridge

I suggest visiting the bridge early in the morning, around 8 AM, to avoid the crowds and get the best lighting for photos. Trust me, it's worth it!
My advice is to combine your visit to the bridge with a short hike nearby. The views from the trails are breathtaking and really enhance the whole experience.

if you're on a budget, grab some snacks at a nearby grocery store before heading to the bridge instead of dining at the more expensive places nearby. it saves you cash!
