Banff or Barcelona for a five-day trip with family? Parents are in their mid-fifties and like scenery/history; sister and I are in our twenties and down for anything. Not traveling on points.

Banff is one of the most gorgeous places I’ve ever been, so scenery box definitely gets checked. You could do some beautiful low key walks and drive over to lake Louise or lake moraine. The spa at the fairmont is also top notch

Barcelona would be better for parents... if your parents aren’t into hiking, then Banff will be a bit boring for you and your sister.

like

In Barcelona right now and soo many options for a variety of interests, wish I could stay longer. 100% recommend as there are opportunities for full family activities as well as things for you and your sister to do solo

Banff is incredibly beautiful! When we went we didn’t do much hiking but still enjoyed the scenery and what not. Have not been to Barcelona but it’s on my list!

Gotcha. They’re into hiking but not anything too strenuous and love the idea of Banff - is it still not worth it?

I would google the different hikes in Banff and their level of difficulty. From what I remember, most are around 8-12 Miles round trip with a solid elevation gain. I personally know my 50 year old parents wouldn’t be able to make it, but they are definitely out of shape haha
