Old Town Scottsdale

Old Town Scottsdale offers some of the best outdoor shopping in Scottsdale. The shopping in Downtown Scottsdale is split into different districts, including the following:

• 5th Avenue — The shops on 5th Avenue are the “touristy” shops in Old Town Scottsdale. Here, you’ll find boutique shops and local galleries, and it is a great place to shop for a souvenir. This street is also lined with some of Scottsdale’s best restaurants and bars.
• Arts District — Located on Main Street and Marshall Way, the Arts District is one of the best shopping centers in Scottsdale for exploring local art galleries, boutiques, and museums, like Western Spirit: Scottsdale’s Museum of the West (one of the best museums in Scottsdale).
