We just did a drive through of this area as it was late on a Friday afternoon. We would have liked to stay over here, but the hotel rates are very high indeed. Also, we did not realise that the next day Saturday, it was the Annual Cowboy festival. We would have loved to see that. It is an interesting little place, with many restaurants and bars, touristy shops etc.

My husband and I really enjoyed Durango. Walkable Main Street with lots of research and shops. It was nice to take your time and enjoy the town. Definitely take a stroll and enjoy your time in Durango.

We are frequent visitors to Durango. We usually love this time of year between Thanksgiving and Christmas. Last year at Thanksgiving the streets were decorated with a multitude of Christmas decorations on the street lights, string across the street and in just about every store. In addition horse drawn carriages were in main street. Unfortunately all that was missing this year. Mother nature played her part with about 7 to 8 inches of snow the day after Thanksgiving but historic Durango was completely void of any Christmas spirit. No lights, no Christmas wreaths, no horse draw carriages - nothing. In that regard it was a very disappointing experience. Just for that reason we may decide to take our pre-christmas trip to another mountain community where the Christmas spirit is still on full display. I can only hope that Durango will bring back all the wonderful Christmas decorations that make it so wonderful to stroll on main street under the Christmas lights in the evening.

3 restaurants so far and the food at each one has been great! The service staff were great too. Everyone is so friendly. We felt very welcome. Thanks to Durango Ambassador Lynn who we met on the street. She pointed us to some great spots. We’re looking forward trying more of her recommendations!!

We loved Durango. The shops, the restaurants, the friendly people. We loved it here and spent a few days exploring. We stayed at the Best Western Plus, which was walking distance to the train and all downtown has to offer. We recommend spending a few days to sample several restaurants. The friendly people running the shops love Durango, and we could tell. The scenery was gorgeous, and it is very walkable. We were impressed with how safe and clean it is.

We ran into ambassador Lynn Asked her several questions. She recommended places to see places to eat and what was the best. She was absolutely spot on!!! So much fun to talk to, she definitely knows her stuff! Thank you Lynn!

Soon after arriving in Durango, I was standing on the footpath with my bags waiting to check in to my hotel and feeling quite Jet Lagged having just arrived from Australia. When Downtown Ambassador Lynn approached me and asked me if I needed any help with local information. Lynn’s advice as to where to eat and places I should visit turned out to be ‘right on the money’. Lynn was an absolutely lovely person and gave me the impression that she genuinely wanted to ensure my 4 day visit to Durango would be an enjoyable one. It was, and largely due to Lynn’s excellent advice and suggestions, most of which I followed. A very big ‘thank you’ to Lynn.

Beautiful area to shop. There was something for everyone (we were a group of 10). Souvenirs (t-shirt shops, outdoor shops), food, drinks, old architecture. Came out of the coffee shop and some of the group were talking to one of the ambassadors who was giving them friendly advice about Durango. Super nice town. We spent a couple of hours going up and down main street. Peaceful area.
