Vail Village

Vail Village in Colorado is a charming alpine destination that exudes European flair. Nestled at the base of Vail Mountain, it offers world-class skiing in winter and vibrant outdoor activities in summer. The pedestrian-only streets are lined with boutique shops, fine dining restaurants, and cozy cafés, creating a warm, inviting atmosphere. Iconic landmarks like the covered bridge and Gore Creek add to its picturesque appeal. With luxurious accommodations and cultural events like live music and art festivals, Vail Village caters to all tastes. It’s a perfect blend of adventure and elegance, making it a must-visit for mountain and leisure enthusiasts.

There is soooo many places to eat and visit, especially when the farmers market is going on! It's SUPER safe and just beautiful during fall and the weather was warm/hot during the day and chilly in the evening. Many hotels to stay at in the Village. It's easier to either get a shuttle to there because parking is weird and $65 I really didn't mind getting the hotel to bring me from the Hythe. I would DEFINITELY go again it was beautiful and so relaxing. There were certain restaurants like Mountain Standard that I would HIGHLY recommend getting a reservation for! It stayed pretty booked and everyone stated the food was good. I only got to have dessert because the dinner crowd was booked and a 2-3 hour wait if you had no reservation! So it's a must!

We came during off season, so there weren’t many people but it was still very beautiful and had lots of little shops. Everything closed a bit early and not many food options but worth checking out. The shops are a bit more on the expensive side and next to a ski resort.

Had a quick night's stop on our way through and were treated to some fall color and fresh snow in late October. Because it was a weekday during the off-season almost every store and restaurant was closed, but it was a beautiful place for an evening stroll.

It's a nice place to walk around, window shopping, or shopping, but the parking garage fee is way too pricey. $45 for 2 hours is ridiculous. It's more expensive than the parking garage in Las Vegas. I guess if you know where to park free would be a good thing. I recommend finding a free parking lot.

Best snowboarding experience thus far! Vail Village has some much to offer and is beautiful.

One of the most amazing places I have been to in USA. Sunday farmers market was in full action. Walking around the village I felt like like I was in a picturesque European town. There was also the annual Rubber duck race, which the kids enjoyed a lot. The yellow duck won 🏆. I walked around the village for hours just absorbing up all it had to offer. There a lots of great eating places. Yeti coffee is the best coffee shop , hands down. Will definitely visit here again. Free day parking and shuttle bus available from Lionshead parking to the village. I recommend walking.

jaw dropping for how stunning this village/small town was!! it wasn't busy at all when we went during the second week of November, which i think was because of "off season" (the majority of the restaurants were closed). but the beautiful, refreshing european-inspired scenery made it so worth the visit! would absolutely come back!!
