Authentik Advice : Don't pick up your rental vehicle at the airport upon your arrival at the Calgary airport. As in all major cities around the world, driving in Calgary is challenging and it can be hard to find your way around, especially after 12 hours of travel and the time change! We suggest that you take a taxi from the airport to your hotel ($30) - the easiest and most economical choice.

ACTIVITY: TRANSFER (BUS OR RENTAL CAR)
Breakfast at your hotel. This morning you will have some time off to discover the North American charm of this avant-garde city, before picking up your rental car in downtown Calgary (or boarding the bus, depending on the option chosen) and heading for Banff.
