A vibrant mix of uses energizes Downtown Colorado Springs. Any time of day or night, the streets are lively. Hundreds of businesses, including plenty of unique, locally-owned shops and restaurants, as well as the most popular night spots in town, make downtown Colorado Springs a prime place to spend a day shopping, or enjoy a night out on the town.
Downtown Colorado Springs is comprised of a relatively small geographic area, making it great to explore on foot. And the parking is comparatively ample and inexpensive, so you won't spend most of your time and money on parking, like in some cities. The city of Colorado Springs is also devoted to the revitalization of the central business district, with upgrades and additions that make downtown a lovely and inviting place to be.
Central Colorado Springs is rich in history and beautiful homes. As many of the first neighborhoods in the city, the central district has character and the feel of a tight knit community. Many homes in this area are on the National Historic Register, and for good reason. Victorian style dominates the streets and fills the area with the feeling of a time gone by.
Whether you are looking for the fast-paced feeling of a big city, or the slower-pace of a time gone by, Downtown and Central Colorado Springs is an area you should consider visiting.
