DOWNTOWN
Downtown Great Falls is situated in a bend of the great Missouri River, surrounded by several parks and a beautiful trail running alongside the cool mountain waters. In spring the river's rocky banks are covered in colorful wildflowers and in winter the whole river ices over, creating a still-life winter wonderland. Downtown is a beautiful place to stay and several accommodations can be found nearby with views of the park, while many mid-range accommodations are convenient for business travelers and recreation enthusiasts.
Many visitors, especially Canadians and residents from the surrounding areas of Montana, come to Great Falls for its shopping opportunities. There are four major shopping areas (mostly large shopping centers with big box stores), while Central Avenue is the place for shoppers that want a more unique experience then a mall. Charming cafes, colorful galleries and boutique stores line the avenue, and the buzz of activity on the street during the day is matched by the hubbub of fun as restaurants and lounges fill up at night.
More economic accommodations can be found on the south side of downtown, along 10th Avenue. Budget-conscious travelers may want to consider staying in an economy chain which features comfortable rooms and a number of complimentary services and amenities, including in-room coffee and tea, breakfast, and access to a high-speed wireless Internet.
