Explore downtown Reno like a local with walkable eats, art, and river views—just steps from your stay at Placemakr Downtown Reno.
Reno is more than its “Biggest Little City” nickname — especially downtown. Between art walks, riverside cafés, and a ballpark skyline, the area offers up a blend of creative energy and laid-back charm. And when you stay at Placemakr Downtown Reno, Greater Nevada Field is your backyard, and the best of the city is just steps away.
Whether you're in town for a few nights or settling in for a longer stay, here are some local ways to explore downtown Reno.
Wake up and head to the Truckee Riverwalk District, where downtown Reno wakes up slowly and stylishly. Grab a latte from Hub Coffee Roasters, then stroll the riverside path lined with public art, local shops, and cozy patios. You’ll find everything from modern galleries to vintage bookstores — all with a side of mountain air.
Be sure to swing by the iconic Believe sculpture — it’s a favorite photo spot and a quiet moment in the middle of the city.
No car? No problem. Greater Nevada Field is just next door — and it’s not just for baseball fans. Home to the Reno Aces, this stadium also hosts outdoor movies, concerts, and community events. Whether you're catching a game or just enjoying the skyline views, it's one of downtown’s most lively hubs.
Reno’s creative spirit is everywhere — from murals and sculptures to museums and maker spaces. Pop into the Nevada Museum of Art for rotating exhibitions, or just wander downtown and Midtown for street art with serious personality. A few blocks from Placemakr, you’ll find massive installations straight from Burning Man and plenty of photo-worthy facades.
Craving something sweet? Make a stop at Sierra Nevada Bakery and Creamery or Dorinda’s Chocolates along the river.
Just a short walk or quick scooter ride from downtown, Midtown offers indie shops, record stores, speakeasy bars, and live music venues that locals swear by. It’s a great spot for a low-key afternoon or an easygoing night out — think less glitz, more grit (in the best way).
Because your stay should feel like you live here — even if it’s just for a few nights. Every space comes fully furnished with chef-ready kitchens, in-unit laundry, and fast Wi-Fi, plus you’ll have access to elevated amenities that make settling in easy:
It’s flexible hospitality that fits the way you travel and live.
