Things to Do

Shop in and around Downtown

Downtown and the surrounding area affords many opportunities to shop and discover unique goods and crafts. From the artisan shops at Old Town to the urban store fronts on Congress Street, Downtown will turn up the unexpected.

Visit Fourth Avenue - which hosts a unique assortment of shops, coffee houses, restaurants, and clubs, all within walking distance of Downtown. From Fourth Avenue, climb aboard the Old Pueblo Trolley to Main Gate Square, where you’ll find more restaurants and bars and University shopping.

Don’t forget to take a short car ride to the nearby Lost Barrio Shopping District to uncover international imports and local handmade gifts.
