The historic district has lovely houses, tree lined streets, and filled with restaurants and shops. Courthouse park great to sit in and watch the world go by and catch a spot of shade on those hot AZ days.

Always enjoyable to step back in time and walk around an old "Hometown Style" downtown area. Plenty to see with eclectic mix of Antique, ice cream, and clothing stores. Even a "whiskey Row" if you want to wet your whistle. Very nice central courthouse area and park.

If you enjoy antiques it's a must do on your list, depending on how in-depth you want to get you could take hours going through these stores.
A wonderful Courthouse in a delightful square with Whiskey Row along one side! Great saloons, including 'The Palace'
A stroll along Whiskey Row is well worth it, lined with abundant art galleries and many taverns/pubs/alehouses. The people in Prescott were so friendly, I was impressed, and I'm talking regular people walking along the street not trying to sell you anything! It's a bit touristy, of course, but not as bad as some places, and there were plenty of...

Lots of stores for shopping; many many restaurants to choose from; some stores sell local artisans items; it is definitely a dog friendly place.
