Downtown Fort Collins is designed as both a national and local-historic district with 28 historical buildings scatter throughout the area. When strolling through the streets of Old Town, you will come to notice an uncanny resemblance to Disneyland’s Main Street USA. We are happy to say that Main Street USA was modeled after Fort Collins! Old Town Square is full of local boutiques, cafes, antique shops, retail stores, and candy and confectionery shops. There are also tons of restaurants downtown, 80-plus in fact, serving a variety of food of every taste. Plus, on any giving day you can enjoy the sounds of live music drifting through beautiful Old Town Square.

Fort Collins Trolley:  All aboard the Fort Collins Trolley! Birney Car 21 just so happens to be the only original resorted city streetcar operating in the western U.S. today. Car 21 was restored to it original 1919 condition by the volunteer-run Municipal Railway Society. Car 25, another restored Fort Collins Birney Car, is also running the tracks this year! The trolley operates from May to September and makes a 3-mile trip ride from City Park to Old Town Fort Collins.

Craft beer is what Fort Collins specializes in and is known for. This is why Fort Collins is referred to as the “Craft Beer Capital of Colorado”. The Choice City is home to over 20 craft breweries that produce 70 percent of the craft beer made in the state of Colorado. Fort Collins and the craft beer industry go together like pancakes and syrup. This is why we think it is so important that you visit more than just one brewery while in town. Headlined by craft brewing giants New Belgium Brewing and Odell Brewing Co, the Fort Collins craft beer scene is a must have experience.
