There are so many wonderful things to see and do in this romantic travel destination. Take that "special someone" to Banff. I'm a hopeless romantic. I enjoy the element of surprise when planning something special for that loved one.
Looking for some romantic ideas for that great romantic weekend getaway? Are you someone who just doesn't have the imagination for planning something memorable. Firstly... Banff is beautiful in summer or winter. Those majestic Rockies look gorgeous in all seasons.
We have some very romantic hotels in the area. The Banff Springs Hotel is a "castle." It's surrounded by mountains on all sides with staggering views. The services offered here range from twelve choices of cuisine, the world class Willow Stream Spa, a scenic golf course and much much more.
There are some beautiful parks for that traditional "romantic picnic." Cascade Garden is unique and a great example of the Canadian landscape right in town. So is Central Park with the Bow River winding it's way through Banff. There's always Cascade Ponds. It's a small man made lake with islands, and a soft flowing creek at one end. Just a few minutes outside Banff. Very idyllic on a hot summer day!
If you want some clean fresh air....there are some great hiking trails around town. Most of these are very scenic, very easy and very romantic! Or take a walking tour of town with some thirty points of interest. If you're in for a little more of a challenge....do some mountain biking, or kayaking on the Bow River, or climb that mountain. There are lots of mountains to choose from!
Still looking for a few more romantic ideas....you could always take the "love of your life" up the Banff Gondola. There are breathtaking views of all the mountain ranges up there. You can see for miles....have a latte or a very intimate lunch or dinner. If that isn't enough....then the ultimate helicopter ride through the Rockies should do the trick.
The winter season in Banff is just as romantic. Icicles, snowflakes and warm roaring fireplaces can get take you to the next level of your relationship. Remember the movie Dr. Zhivago? Well, imagine dog sledding through tranquil forests, horse drawn sleigh rides with the sound of the crisp snow underneath you, or ice skating on any number of ponds.
If you're looking for something a little more "French," then the Chateau Lake Louise could be your next romantic travel destination. It's situated around a lake at the base of a glacier. So beautiful, with very unique architecture. Once again this romantic hotel offers everything you could want for in a romantic weekend getaway. Maybe a walk around the lake, or how about canoeing by the glacier or a beautiful gourmet dinner in one of eight dining areas.
Banff is definitely a Romantic Travel Destination. The romance potential here is limitless....use some imagination, surprise the "love of your life." Could there be a marriage proposal around the corner!
