Salt Lake City Tours & Holidays

Salt Lake City is the capital city in the state of Utah and is also the most populated before other cities such as Provo and Ogden. 

Salt Lake City spans a total of 285 square kilometres, with around 200,000 people calling the city their home.

Salt Lake City is generally considered a very safe place to travel to with the crime risk being categorized as low, however you should always be aware of your surroundings when in a foreign city.

This means sticking to well-populated and well-lit areas (if you're moving around at night) and be on guard if you find yourself in unfamiliar or uncomfortable settings. 

The easiest way to get around Salt Lake City is either by car or via public transport.

Driving around Salt Lake City is relatively simple thanks to easy-to-navigate streets and lots of public parking in the city centre.

If you didn't travel to SLC by car (and you didn't want to rent one), then another option is to get around on the public bus or light rail services.

You can also walk around SLC, as the terrain is quite flat and the iconic landmarks are relatively close together. 

Salt Lake City has an arid, temperate climate, with each season fairly normal in terms of what can be expected. Due to the arid nature of the climate, SLC rarely ever sees rain, making Utah the second driest state behind Nevada.

Salt Lake City is known to be humid, but the temperatures throughout the year are bearable, with summers not feeling too hot and winters not feeling too cold. 

While the humidity stops the temperatures in winter from feeling too cold, they can still get down to a freezing level, with snow forming both in the valley and surrounding mountain areas.

This means SLC enjoys snow and very little rainfall for most of the winter season. 

Salt Lake City is a popular spot among tourists looking to hit the slopes during the snow season, as well as for history buffs wanting to gain a deeper understanding of this city's pioneering past. SLC is steeped in religious history and features a thriving culture full of iconic landmarks that are just waiting to be explored. For these reasons, Salt Lake City is popular among travellers from various parts of Utah and other surrounding states, with many coming to this destination for day trips and long weekends.
