World famous for being the spiritual capital of Mormons worldwide and for its outstanding outdoors activities, Salt Lake City is an important tourist destination in the USA. The well-structured city is also an important economical centre and transport hub in the Midwest.
Founded by the spiritual leader of the Mormons, Brigham Young, the influence of this remarkable man and the Mormon religion that dominates the city until today, is clearly present in the city. The central point in downtown Salt Lake City is Temple Square, the spiritual heart of the Mormons, with the Church of the Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, the Mormon Temple. Also for non-Mormons, a visit to the square and its main buildings is a recommendation. The Temple is a architectural masterpiece, while the adjacent Tabernacle, hosting a variety of musical performances, is renowned for its acoustic.
Other interesting sites in downtown Salt Lake City include the Capitol Hill and Trolley Square, where a large variety of bars and restaurants are concentrated. The University District has some top-class museums, like the Utah Museums of Natural History and Fine Arts.
