Downtown Roanoke is host to a variety of attractions and offerings from eclectic shops and eateries to a bustling nightlife.
The district houses a wealth of businesses and services - all ready to welcome you!
The historic Roanoke City Market is often the first place experienced in downtown, and what a wonderful welcome it provides, offering history, tradition, friendly faces and timeless beauty.
The 125-year old Farmer’s Market spans several blocks and on the tables you’ll find fresh vegetables and fruits in season, flowers and bedding plants galore, and a huge variety of artisan crafts - all surrounded by a diverse array of shops, dining options, museums and art galleries.
Spend a little time browsing in and out of the specialty shops and boutiques for that perfect memento for yourself or someone special. Pamper yourself with a little spa treatment, too.
Whether it’s Thai or Indian, Mexican or Italian, or just a great steak, crab cake, burger or sandwich, you’ll find it in the more than 60 downtown restaurants. Outdoor dining is particularly pleasurable, so take advantage of the lively parade of people as you sip and snack. Roanoke’s coffee houses wait to welcome you with their brews of the day, too.
If it’s a cultural adventure you seek, Center in the Square houses a mix of museums - art, science and history - plus hosts live theater. Also in downtown are transportation and railroad photography museums, heralding Roanoke’s past as a rail town.
Take a walking tour and explore the historic and modern architecture cohabitating side by side, and enjoy the 400 hanging flowers baskets that decorate the City’s streets each year. Year-round there are festivals, music and events happening in downtown.
