Scottsdale has more spas per capita than any other city in the U.S.—so whether you’re looking for the latest medi-spa technology or a new-agey, bohemian vibe, there’s sure to be something for you. It's a good thing, too—after spending all day touring the beautiful desert, you'll be grateful for some pampering.

Scottsdale Civic Center

Reviewed By earlr877 - Scottsdale, United States

We bought a condo within two blocks of Scottsdale's Civic Center Park. Oddly, at the time of purchase we were unaware of this gem of a park. It contains the Performing Arts Center, Contemporary Arts Museum, the amazing Civic Center Library, City Hall, several restaurants, a major local hotel, interesting fountains, and impressive public art. We enjoy major festivals there throughout the year. It is one of the most photographed areas of any city in Arizona. Just this morning, some visitors asked me to take their pictures in front of Robert Indiana's LOVE sculpture, a spot that so popular it's hard for the city to keep the grass alive in front of it. The Scottsdale Civic Center is an exceptional gem, far surpassing similar facilities in much larger cities.

Old Town Scottsdale

Old Town Scottsdale - Scottsdale's downtown - is among the most vibrant and unique urban downtown centers in the American Southwest. Its pedestrian-friendly streets are home to world class art galleries, museums, restaurants and retail shops... and when the sun goes down you don’t have to because of the exciting nightlife. Old Town Scottsdale is known for hosting great events throughout the year such as markets, art walks, festivals, parades, concerts, and block parties.

Thursday evening becomes a perfect evening when spent at the Scottsdale Gallery Walk. The art is tantalizing and inspiring.
