We loved walking around - going into the Hotel Monte Vista - and ended up with Happy Hour at Collins Irish Pub on Leroux St (lots of nice NAU students both as customers and servers!)

I've tried Charly's in the historic Wetherford Hotel and Pastos the following evening and both were very good. The town has a lot going on. Parking can be a challenge.

Flagstaff is located on Route 66 in the middle of the railroad district. Over 100 trains go through here each day. The railroad station in it's original form is just a great place to browse and of course watch the trains come through. Lots of bars, shops and restaurants downtown. Very laid back atmosphere. Would recommend and WILL be back.

I dont think it was the best time of year to visit but still had a very nice time. I would suggest visiting in the summer time. Sunday many shops are closed and the ones that are open sunday don't open untill 10 a.m . The trains were great, shops were neat and there are many great food options.

It was really nice to walk around down town Flagstaff. The shops downtown are neat to look at, and the town is beautiful.

The plaques on the sides of the buildings were the best part. Most of what is there is bars, restaruants, clothing stores, and new-agey massage and healing centers. There were a few standouts: mix, a salad/sandwich/ice cream bistro, and Peace Surplus, which is the coolest sporting goods store I've ever been in.

My son and I used to love to spend the weekend walking downtown looking at all the shops. One of my favorites was Crystal Magic, so many cool things. I believe I could spend several hours just sitting by the visitor center and watching the trains.

If you want to experience a little taste of south western culture plus artistic talent this is the place to explore. There is a wonderful variety of restaurants right downtown. From BBQ wings at Big Foot BBQ located within a trendy Boutique in the downstairs at the downtown shops located in the Downtown Shopping Mall. You can order Organic salads... More

You can walk the 3-4 blocks in 15 minutes or less. Nothing really worthy seeing or noting. Lots of stores, most closed on Sunday.
