5 Ways to Spend the Perfect Day in Longmont
If you only have a few hours in Longmont, here are some great ideas on how to spend them.
Explore Downtown Longmont. A Certified Colorado Creative District, it has innovative breweries and restaurants, one-of-a-kind boutiques, art and history. Check out these ideas on how to spend your time downtown.
Visit the Longmont Museum. See the permanent Front Range Rising exhibit or take in the newest changing exhibit. Year-round self-guided virtual history tours are also available on topics such as Downtown Longmont, Latino History, Women of Longmont and more.
Experience Cheese Importers. A true destination for any “foodie,” Cheese Importers is a Colorado family-owned business founded in 1976. They offer natural, organic and imported cheeses, cured meats, specialty oils, spices, olives, chocolate and other unique specialty foods.
Sip a craft beverage at one of our many breweries, distilleries, or the cidery. Longmont is home to 12 breweries, 3 distilleries, and one cidery each with unique flavors and vibes!
Grab a bite to eat. There are restaurant options for everyone, from happy hour and fast casual, to high-end and artisan dining. Many restaurants are influenced by locally grown and seasonal foods, a nod to Longmont’s agricultural past, so menus rotate throughout the year allowing visitors to experience something new every time they come.
Enjoy the view while exploring our parks and trails. Bikers and walkers love the parks, paths and trails in the Longmont area, and enjoy the St. Vrain Greenway that winds through town along St. Vrain Creek.
