After arriving to Calgary and picking up the rental car head to Lake Louise Lodge (if you want to stay as close as possible to attractions and don't mind switching hotels) or Banff hotel (if you prefer to stay in one place for the whole duration of the trip).

After a delicious lunch at Hankki Korean street food cafe it's time to explore the cutest town of Banff and it's shops and breweries.

Enjoy dinner at Farm and Fire restaurant.
