Local knowledge for Salt Lake City
Where to stay
Most hostels sit within a few blocks of State Street and 200 South downtown, which puts you on the TRAX light rail and close to Gallivan Plaza and the Granary District. If you want a quieter, more local-feeling base, the 9th and 9th area (900 South at 900 East) has good independent coffee and food, though you will need a bus or bike to get there from most accommodation.
Getting around
- TRAX light rail runs from the airport straight into downtown for a small fare, a straightforward alternative to a rideshare at the end of a long travel day.
- Red Iguana on North Temple is worth it for cheap, filling New Mexican food, but the line builds quickly. Arrive right when they open or come mid-afternoon on a weekday.
- Liberty Park, roughly at 700 East and 900 South, is free, large, and a solid way to spend a hot afternoon without opening your wallet.
When to go
Prices are lowest in April, May, and October. Hostels fill up and rates climb in late January around the Sundance Film Festival (based in nearby Park City) and again from June through August when SLC is a common stop on national parks road trips to Zion and Arches.
