Top 5 Must-Visit Landmarks in Park City, Utah

By Rental Escapes · On October 2, 2018


Some call Park City a “perfect mountain town,” and it comes as no surprise. Its rich heritage as a silver mining town, combined with its authentic love of art, sports, and the great outdoors make Park City, Utah an appealing balance of luxury and humble community. In the winter months it’s popular among skiers and cinephiles attending the acclaimed Sundance Film Festival, and in the summer there are a variety of hiking, mountain biking, fishing, and camping opportunities.

Here are 5 of the top landmarks you simply must visit when vacationing in Park City:

Park City Main Street Historic District

The Park City Main Street Historic District is a wonderful testament to metal mining towns of yore. After a fire in 1898, the structures were rebuilt in diverse architectural styles, including Queen Anne, Mission/Spanish Revival, and Victorian, to name a few. Often touted as the main attraction, the district consists of 47 historic buildings set on 13 acres along Main Street, which today houses over 100 boutiques, 50 restaurants, and ample outdoor adventure companies. Suggested activity: take a stroll.
