Best One-Day Guide ✅ Eight Must-Do Activities in Salt Lake City‼️
Salt Lake City, the capital of Utah, is a must-visit location on the way to major national parks, such as Yellowstone and Arches. However, Salt Lake City itself is quite beautiful. If you only have one day to spend, how should you spend it?
Local Attractions:
- Utah State Capitol - Located halfway up the hill, this magnificent Byzantine-style building overlooks the whole city. It is one of the most famous state Capitol buildings in the country and is even more sophisticated than the Capitol building in Washington, D.C. Gray marble is paired with carved beams and columns, solemn and majestic. It is especially beautiful at night when the lights are on.
Location: 350 N State St, Salt Lake City
Suggested time: 2 hours - The Salt Lake Temple - A century-old landmark in Salt Lake City, it is the largest Mormon temple in the world. It is located next to the State Capitol. Only members of the church are allowed inside, and the exterior is currently under renovation. It will reopen in 2024.
