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!

WHile in Colorado Springs, take a trip to the Old Colorado City area. Definately a tourist trap, but quite charming.. lots of shops, great ambiance and some good food too.

Quaint shopping in a nice walkable area. Lots of adorable little boutiques, coffee shops, cafes, etc.
