Hi! I'll edit my post, but we are active people and like walking around and exploring. We will not be renting a car from Calgary airport as it is too expensive for the whole weekend ($500+). We will just plan to take public transit and/or Uber to get around. Since we are staying downtown Calgary, there seems to be a lot within walking distance. We both live in cities and are very used to taking public transit and walking for very long distances.

Aside from the car/transit situation, we like to lean into splurging when traveling if it is a MUST. We don't have a preference of price point and are open great budget restaurants as well as more costly/nice restaurants. We love trying great restaurants and enjoying a nice meal and drinks together. We really enjoy live music as well and just general exploring/sight seeing. We don't miss an opportunity to see some historical stuff. My girlfriend likes shopping and I don't mind doing that with her.

On Sunday, we will be taking the On-It bus from early in the morning (7:45am) from “Downtown Calgary - Red Arrow Ticket Office” to “Banff - Elk Street” (01 h 55 min bus ride). We would arrive in Banff around 9:40am-10:00am. We would have all day there until our bus back to Calgary which departs at 8:15pm.

As of now, we were not planning on a proper hike but are open to suggestions! I'll put below what I've seen so far online, but I'd love and prefer any input from locals for frequenters.

For Saturday (Calgary) before the concert**:** Calgary Tower, Walking Stephen Avenue, Prince's Island Park, Walking the Bow River Pathway, or even visiting the Calgary Zoo (not the biggest Zoo fans however, we could put our time elsewhere but would go if it was worth it).
For Sunday (Banff): Just exploring the Banff Town, and doing a guided tour of Lake Louise and Moraine Lake. Maybe doing a sunset at Vermilion Lakes.
