Authentic Native American artwork and hand crafted items, gourmet restaurants, southwestern jewelry and art, live music, city sculptures and restful
parks await you in Old Town Scottsdale. Ride the free trolley to see the area in its entirety. The trolley runs throughout Old Town and makes a loop
up to Scottsdale Fashion Square. If on foot, wear your walking shoes because the area covers several blocks. Many buildings still in use were built in the early 1900's.
While surrounded by modern urban living, this little piece of southwest history has been preserved.

Handicap parking is available throughout the area.
Traveling with children
Many stores contain fine art and jewelry, but there is a large assortment of stores with "treasures" for children to discover. Parks provide places
to play. Dining ranges from casual and "family friendly" to very formal.
Traveling with pets
Although your leashed pet might enjoy walking around the area and playing in the local parks, being excluded from shops and restaurants could present a problem.
NEVER leave a pet unattended in a vehicle.
