Old Town

One of the most popular winter tourist destinations in the Southwest is Scottsdale, Arizona, which counts about 230,000 full-time residents throughout its 185 square miles that stretches 31 miles from the south commercial end to the north mountainous tip. One of the more popular areas in Scottsdale is Old Town, a vibrant, city-like neighborhood that's a lot less about the desert and more about the city. There are multiple restaurants, galleries, bars, and shopping outlets to satisfy any taste. From the souvenir shops on 1st and 2nd Avenues to the jewelry and fashion stores in Old Town Scottsdale's 5th Avenue Shopping District, there's plenty of arts and culture in walking distance from each other.
