3 Best Landmarks in Salt Lake City, UT

The Utah State Capitol is absolutely worth a visit—both during the day and at sunset. In the morning, you can go inside during working hours to admire the stunning architecture and learn about the state’s history. But my favorite time to be there is in the evening. The view of the city from the grounds is breathtaking, especially during sunset—it’s calm, beautiful, and incredibly peaceful. You can easily spend hours here just soaking in the atmosphere. The surrounding neighborhood is also beautiful, with charming homes and impressive architecture that make the walk to the Capitol even more enjoyable. Whether you’re interested in history, photography, or simply want a quiet place to reflect, this spot delivers. A must-see when in SLC.

The Capitol has just been redone, and it is gorgeous. The marble is from Georgia. The paintings are amazing. The most lavish room was the room where the Governor greets visitors. They saw everything in it that looks like gold-is gold. The supreme court is quite lovely as well. However the most extraordinary thing is the view from the top of the Capitol steps. Nothing is so magnificent as nature, and Salt Lake is surrounded by it.

We had a great experience visiting the Capitol, first we went to the visitor center to learn about the capitol, Utah State and the history related. This is really well done! Then we discover the Capitol itself is architecture and role. This is really a must see Salt Lake city.

Very interesting park to visit to learn more about the valleys pioneers and their ways to live in the 1800's and 1900's. It's about 15min from SLC downtown, there where plenty of parking spots on-site and the entrance fee for the heritage park was $22. There are some food options too, like hot dogs, burgers, grilled cheese, donuts and ice cream. It is totally family friendly and you can easily spend 3-5 hours there if you take your time.

Amazing! It’s like a small village with houses from the 19th century and you can go inside and talk to the people who act like they live/work there. There’s a little farm with pony and horse riding, goats and rabbits. There is also a snack bar and donut shop and gift shop. It tells the story of pioneers of Salt Lake Valley. 22 dollars for an adult, half for children.

Tribute to the heritage of the area from before the Mormons arrived to settler cabins to many buildings from the next 100 years. Very pleasant guides in many buildings. Can get tram ride that goes around the perimeter to get a sense of what to see. Spent over half the day.
