Grab your kids, your date, or your best quarantine buddy and take a holiday stroll with us in downtown Boise. Whether you’re looking for the perfect gift, a delicious treat on the go, or want to enjoy the holiday sights, City Go’s interactive Holiday Walking Guide will provide you the perfect resource. 🎁

The map features some of the best-hidden shopping spots to find the perfect gift for the most difficult person on your list. It also features the best sights to see downtown this holiday season, from the Giving Tree to Inspiration Alley. Finally, the map showcases some of our favorite food items from local restaurants that are easy to take with you on your walk.

We love downtown Boise this time of year and are excited to give you a new way to experience some holiday joy. Downtown Boise is the most walkable neighborhood in Boise. It is easy to park your car once and enjoy the sights of downtown on foot. Parking once and walking not only helps you get those steps in, but it also helps ease congestion downtown, reduce emissions, and lower the number of vehicle miles traveled on our roads. Help us give our environment, air quality, and local downtown businesses a little love this holiday season. Don't forget to bundle up and grab your mask!
