We love Banff. You Love Banff. Everyone loves Banff. We&#8217;re so lucky to live so close to Banff! It&#8217;s only a short drive away and it&#8217;s always such a pleasure to visit for any reason (food, beer, day trips, staying in hotels). What if you don&#8217;t have a car though? We don&#8217;t. We&#8217;ve never had a vehicle. How can you get to Banff without a car, AND have a good time while visiting? It&#8217;s not that hard at all, and there&#8217;s lots of <a href=\"#Things-To-Do-In-Banff-Without-A-Car\">things to do in Banff without a car<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Take the bus to Banff! It&#8217;s cheaper than you think, environment friendly and stress free. No traffic to worry about. No having to pay for parking. No having to worry about how many craft beers you&#8217;ve had (within reason! haha), taking a comfortable bus to\/from Banff from Calgary is good times. You can turn any weekend into a mini vacation in the mountains.<\/p>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_82_2 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-white
