Downtown Laramie lies at the heart of Wyoming’s only university town. A lively pocket among the rural plains along the Union Pacific Railroad--the innovation that put the wild west town on the map. A view from Downtown Laramie’s distinctive steel pedestrian bridge showcases the vibrancy of a historic district colored by 32 hand-painted murals from our local artists to the East and adventure-primed Snowy Mountains to the West. No different than the sights, downtown’s sounds delight—songwriters croon from famed taverns and cowboy boots stomp on closed streets turned to dance halls. Downtown Laramie attracts Wyoming’s culturally curious, offering regional cuisines in our 30+ restaurants and varied pop-up food trucks, including the state’s only vegan café. To live and work in the district is coveted, home to two coworking spaces and 95 residential units. From dog-friendly destinations to a neighborhood grocery store, the streets of Laramie invite you to walk, pedal, or scoot between work and play in the shadows of historic storefronts that have stood the test of time. In Downtown Laramie, the neighborhood is warm with long-time locals and University of Wyoming students and alumni eager to roam the four microbreweries before watching the University of Wyoming Pokes play. Even the chilled winters are all but forgotten once the hollyhocks bloom bright between the cracks of the 28 blocks of boutique manufacturers, salons, and specialty shops, frequented by the summer’s cross-country tourists eager to experience the spirit of the modern West.
