Sightseeing Salt Lake City's highlights include historical and religious sights in the city centre and the scenic attractions, pioneer relics and recreational activities of the Salt Lake Valley, canyons and nearby mountains. The compact downtown area is the best place to start exploring. Within a small radius from Temple Square, where the famous Mormon Tabernacle and the six-spired granite Temple are located, there are several historical sites dating from the pioneer era, along with shopping and cultural venues. Beyond downtown, other Central Salt Lake highlights include the Marmalade District of historic homes, the Utah State Capitol, This is The Place Heritage Park and Old Deseret Village, Trolley Square and several museums. The Great Salt Lake for which the city was named lies just 27km (17 miles) west and is a 'must-see' sight for all first-time visitors.
