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, Downtown Longmont has innovative breweries and restaurants and one of a kind boutiques, art and history. Click here for ideas on how to spend your time downtown.
Visit the Longmont Museum's exhibit Enduring Impressions: Degas, Monet, Pissarro, and Their Printmaker George William Thornle. Timed-entry tickets are required. Guarantee your admission by purchasing tickets in advance online or by phone at (303) 651-8374.

Grab our free, downloadable Craft Beverage guide as well!
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. The Longmont Chamber of Commerce has compiled a list of restaurants detailing their dining options due to COVID here.
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 the St. Vrain Creek. The trail map is available here. Check out our list of some of the best places to view sunrise and sunset here.
