Salt Lake City

Inside the city proper, the urban landscape has much to offer as well. You’ll find an excellent culinary scene with restaurants to suit all tastes, and the Natural History Museum of Utah which houses world-class exhibitions and delves into the science behind Utah’s remarkable landscapes. Salt Lake City also has some of the most unique examples of architecture in the West – from the striking State Capitol and Salt Lake City Public Library to the iconic Temple Square of the Latter Day Saints and the Tabernacle, home to the world-famous Tabernacle Choir – there’s an impressive range of buildings to see and explore. And getting around is easy. The streets are easy to navigate with much of the city pedestrian-friendly, and a wallet-friendly public transport system.

And not forgetting Salt Lake’s Wild West history – the valley was settled in 1847 by Mormon pioneers who crossed the country against many obstacles, in the hopes of freely practicing their religion. Visitors can learn about the city’s history at Temple Square, as well as see the city’s ongoing dialogue between the modern-day Mormons and the city’s secular citizens who now make up the majority of the population. Salt Lake City is also LGBTQ+ friendly and hosts a wonderful Pride event every June.
