The Salt Lake City Guides answer what visitors actually ask: where to eat well away from the Temple Square chains, which sights cost nothing, how the drinking rules play out in a real bar and how to reach the ski slopes without sitting in canyon traffic. Each guide is a short, opinionated list with the reason to go, what to order or see and one practical tip for every place, and it opens in your browser as soon as you pay.

Three places from the guides
The Copper Onion
111 E Broadway, downtown
Where locals bring friends from out of town: chicken cooked in cast iron, shrimp and grits, mussels and fresh pasta, in a warm room with serious cocktails. From the food guide.
Utah State Capitol
350 North State Street
The domed 1916 capitol on the hill above downtown, with marble halls, murals and a free self-guided visit. Walk round the outside for the clearest view of the city and the Wasatch peaks. From the things to do guide.
The Crater at Homestead
Midway, about an hour by car
A limestone dome hiding a warm spring pool, where you swim or snorkel under a hole in the rock. In winter, with snow outside, it feels unreal. From the day trips guide.
Plan your days in Salt Lake City
Day one: walk downtown from Temple Square up to the Capitol and the library roof garden, then pick dinner from the food guide and a cocktail bar from the nightlife guide. Day two: head for the mountains with the day trips guide, on a ski bus to the Cottonwood canyons or up to Park City, or swap the snow for the Olympic sites and a swim in a warm crater. For a rainy, snowy or smoggy day, the family and budget guides take you indoors: Clark Planetarium, the FamilySearch Center, an ice rink and a root beer at Hires Big H.
