Sightseeing Overview

Salt Lake City's highlights include historical and religious sights in the city centre and the scenic attractions, pioneer relics and recreational activities on offer in the Salt Lake Valley, canyons and nearby mountains.

The compact downtown area is the best place for a visitor to start exploring. Within a small radius from Temple Square, where the famous Mormon Tabernacle and the six-spire granite Temple are located, there are several historical sites dating from the pioneer era, along with shopping and cultural venues.

Among the city's museums and galleries are the Salt Lake Art Center, 20 South West Temple, Downtown and the Utah State Historical Society in the Historic Rio Grande Depot.

Beyond Downtown, other Central Salt Lake highlights include the Marmalade District of historic homes, the Utah State Capitol, This is The Place Heritage Park and Old Deseret Village, Trolley Square and several museums.

The Great Salt Lake after which the city was named, lies just 27km (17 miles) west and is a ‘must-see' sight for all first-time visitors.
