Downtown Reno
Downtown Reno is a high-energy entertainment district that’s busy at all hours of the day and night. With the iconic Reno Arch as a focal point, Downtown is all about the hustle and bustle of dining, shopping, arts and culture, partying and playing in an urban center where you can walk everywhere you need to go. With everything from big-name casinos to minor league baseball, sleek nightclubs and sushi bars to casual coffee shops and burger joints, Downtown Reno has something for everyone. The nightlife scene is legendary, and the breweries are plentiful. The Truckee River runs through Downtown Reno, providing great views and recreational opportunities, including a Whitewater Center. Downtown is also a cultural center, home to Bruka Theatre, Pioneer Center for the Performing Arts, Nevada Museum of Art, National Automobile Museum, Nevada Discovery Museum, Wingfield Park, concert venues and more. The Downtown Reno Partnership is dedicated to constant improvement of the area and has ambassadors on the streets seven days a week to assist visitors.
Downtown Reno’s Riverwalk
The Downtown Reno Riverwalk is a lively district of the Downtown area, with plentiful shops, eateries, bars and live music venues. Easily walkable and featuring stunning river views, the Riverwalk runs from the western edge of Reno’s Idlewild Park east into Wingfield Park with its own miniature island in the Truckee River. In addition to shopping, dining and cultural opportunities, the Riverwalk offers plentiful events and even outdoor recreational opportunities along the river.
