The 12 Most Romantic Places to Take a Date In Banff
There are several really romantic places you can take a Date to in Banff. My wife and I have been going out on epic dates in Banff for 14 years. In fact this is where we originally were engaged. I could have taken her anywhere, but we chose this location because of it charm and magic.
I know a lot of people that are travelling to Banff today are doing so with their significant others. Banff is not only and a major tourist destination internationally, the local people from surrounding cities like Edmonton, Calgary, Lethbridge and Red Deer also frequent the area for quick romantic weekend getaways.
Here are our Recommendations on the 12 Most Romantic places to take a Date in Banff, Alberta
Hot Springs at night
The hot springs at night are really romantic. Even if it is snowing outside. There are a lot less people there making it more intimate and in is really quiet. This is great place to relax before you head in for the night. It is just sexy (with no sex…please) lol
2. Fairmont Grounds walk
The grounds around the Fairmont are really beautiful. There is an area where we always take pictures where there is a beautiful waterfall and a stream beside the fairmont. Inside you can go for a romantic dinner or breakfast.
3. Up the Sulphur mountain Gondola
The Gondola is super romantic. You can ask for a car by yourself. This would be an awesome place to propose in Banff as the ride up is 25 minutes long. The other option would be to do it at the top. There are several lookout points and there is now a restaurant and Bar at the top. It is awesome, and the pictures you will take will last a lifetime.
4. To One of the Italian Restaurants
I proposed in a really classy Italian restaurant right on Banff ave. It was awesome and the staff had it all set up for me.
5. A Cabin Style Hotel
Banff has lots of little cabin style hotels that are awesome and well priced. If you are taking a quick getaway with your loved one or partner try staying in one of these. They are more private than a regular hotel and make you feel more secluded. Just stay in for the weekend!
6. Hiking Johnston Canyon
Johnston Canyon would be a badass place to take a date to. When I hike this with my wife, I pack a lunch and we make a picnic out of it. The trail is pretty simple so you will not get gross and sweaty. And it is sooo beautiful, with multiple waterfalls and picture spots. This is one of the most romantic places to take a date in Banff and would be a cool spot to get engaged.
7. Tunnel Mountain
There is a campsite at tunnel mountain that is awesome and safe. I wrote a whole article on it below. Play house with your date for a weekend in a cozy tent surrounded by mountains. Sounds romantic!
8. The Grizzly House for Dinner
You can have a fondue and show off you cooking skills to you date at the grizzly house!
9. Kayaking
Get a 2 person Kayak and go out on one of the blue lakes in Banff. It is quiet and a great way to get to know each other and talk. You can park your kayak somewhere and go for a picnic.
10. Hit Up a nightclub
You know that feeling when you are on vacation somewhere and you go to a nightclub and dance all night? You will get the same feeling when you are partying in Banff. Aurora is a really nice nightclub and has some dimly lit areas for you to connect.

Yes you can take a helicopter ride in the mountains of Banff. This is one of the most impressive date ideas ever if you are trying to impress someone!.
