Traveler advice
Getting around
Driving is the best way to get around.
It's best to have a car to get around the Vail Valley. There is public transportation, but if you want to drive and enjoy the mountains or visit hiking trails, having a car is a must.
Don't miss
Vail Farmers Market
Runs Sundays in the Summer. Awesome place to browse local artists, get fresh food, and walk through Vail Village.
