• Lake Mansion - Known as one of the most renowned (and haunted) residences in downtown Reno, this humble building is rich with stories—from pioneer families to political leaders. A true “if walls could talk” scenario.
• Reno Riverwalk District - Situated along the Truckee River, the Riverwalk District combines scenic beauty with a rich historical backdrop. Once the site of mills, early settlements, and thriving commerce, it is now a lively area filled with public art, bridges, historic buildings, and local charm—where history flows alongside modern life.
• West Street Market - Currently a fashionable food and shopping destination, this location was once the site of a forgotten cemetery. Explore the history of this block—and the bodies that were discreetly relocated.
• City Plaza - Located in City Plaza, between the Truckee River and Reno City Hall, the BELIEVE sign is one of the city’s most photographed attractions. Originally created for Burning Man, it now symbolizes Reno’s creative spirit—and offers the perfect photo opportunity for tours.
• Reno Arch - A visit to Reno is incomplete without seeing the world-famous arch. First erected in 1926 to celebrate a fair, it became a lasting symbol of the “Biggest Little City in the World.” Enjoy a complimentary photo under the Arch.
• New Virginia Street Bridge - Visit the site where Reno’s history began, the historic and iconic Virginia Street Bridge. This renowned crossing witnessed thousands of divorcees casting their rings into the Truckee River below.
• Washoe County Courthouse - Enter the heart of Reno’s international fame. This courthouse was the final destination for many seeking a “quickie divorce.” Hollywood starlets, socialites, and scandal-makers all walked these steps.
