Old town Scottsdale is not technically Phoenix but belongs to the City of Scottsdale. I like to pretend this is the real Phoenix as Downtown Phoenix was a disappointment, but Scottsdale certainly delivered. From art works and statues, to instagram worthy sites and friendly shops to browse through. Much cooler than downtown Phoenix and much more cultured. Plenty to see and do for at least 1/2 to a full day. Enjoy!

One of the finest places to spend some leisurely time. In the hot summers they have cool down stations, dining is often indoor and outdoor under covered air cooled patios. A pleasure for walking the updated old town. Shops, galleries, eateries, bars, pawnshops, mature trees and more. Please be advised: the town doesn't really get going till after 4pm, unless brunch is your thing and there are several good places for that.

Lots of kitsch and shopping. Good spot for restaurants or a drink. Lots of parties and bachelorettes.

Old Town Scottsdale is a fun town. Stay in a local hotel and there is quite a bit within walking distance. Lots of food options although not quite as good as we had read before our trip. Plenty of local shops to browse and the art was a lot of fun to look at. We would probably make another visit to Scottsdale but only after we checked out Sedona and/or Flagstaff first. I do NOT recommend Scottsdale in June-August. It was EXTREMELY hot during our visit. Saying it's a dry heat will only go so far. 117 degrees is HOT no matter how you look at it.

Went at 2018, miss the place. There are lots of art work, nice restaurants, and bars. The old town make you feel walk into history. All the great decorations and style keep. Wish to visit again once open. Recommended!!
