Town inside Banff National Park (Canada's first, established 1885) at 1,383m elevation in the Canadian Rockies. Banff Avenue (the main pedestrian commercial strip) is the dense walkable core; most long-stays are short-term-rental-restricted (the town has a Need-to-Reside policy requiring employment or residency permits). Canada has no formal DNV; eTA up to 6 months. The structural draws are world-class alpine-and-lake geography (Lake Louise, Moraine Lake, Mount Norquay) and direct year-round outdoor recreation (skiing November-May, hiking June-October). Genuinely expensive; tourist density is real year-round.
