It's another typical 'old town' setup featuring about 4 city blocks of boutiques, novelty shops, cafes, antiques, and touristy goodies. To leisurely stroll both sides of the street takes about an hour.

Somewhat disappointing area. As others have mentioned, a lot of similar shops. A quick visit is worthwhile if you are in the area as a few shops do have some interesting items. For a much better experience go to the historic Manitou Springs, just up the street.

Unless you like shops filled with incense, pot, hippies playing guitars and sub-par restaurants, do not bother visiting this area. Disappointed.

We ate at a restaurant here, but we didn't get to walk around much as it was snowing and cold. There are a lot of shops, restaurants and spas.

Enjoy part of a day wandering in and out of nice shops. It is fun to see specialty shops and not the "box stores"!

Take a stroll here. There are many interesting buildings. Take a look at the Carnegie library. And stop by the bakery for a chocolate éclair.

Old Colorado City has something for everyone. It has a shops, food, & entertainment. You can't go wrong here. It's just a short drive from Colorado Springs, and well worth it.

Experience the Territorial Capitol of Colorado. Lots to do and see. Michael Garman's Gallery is a great place to stop and shop. Lots of good food. Lots of history. You will love it. One of my favorite places to visit during the holiday season!
