In addition to its numerous, well-maintained parks, Boise is filled with historic sites, shops, restaurants, and museums. Take, for example, Boise's trendy "Linen District," an area filled with great boutiques and restaurants anchored by the newly re-furbished "American Linen Company Building." Or, head over to Boise's historic BoDo district. Opened in 2005, this charming area of restored buildings gives you a chance to learn about Boise's history as you dine and shop in the numerous businesses that call the area home. In town, you can climb to the top of the historic (1925) Spanish style tower at Boise Depot for a bird's-eye view of the city. See what's happening at Bronco stadium...and no, you won't see the Denver Broncos, but you will see everything from great concerts to sporting events like state football championships and Olympic tryouts. There's also the Boise Zoo, the Idaho State Historical Museum, and the Boise Art Museum.

In town, or out in the Great Outdoors, Boise has the best of both worlds! The Boise River Greenbelt has more than 25 miles of scenic paths where you can hike, bike, or jog. Venture farther a-field into the 130 miles of trails that make up the "Ridge to River" trail system that snakes throughout the foothills east of the city. Golfers can hit the links at nearby Warm Springs Golf Course. And, of course, with mountains all around there are plenty of great places to fish, kayak, or shoot the rapids! For Skiers, Bogus Basin is just 5 minutes away and, depending on how far you're willing to travel, there are 15 ski areas in Idaho.

So why not make a getaway to beautiful and vibrant Boise, the "City of Trees" along the Boise where you'll have fun, inside and out!
