Time and again, Fort Collins has been named one of the best places to live in the United States and it’s no mystery why. The city offers more than 300 days of sunshine each year, an abundance of outdoor recreation, unique cultural events, and one of the highest number of restaurants and craft breweries per capita in the nation.

Fort Collins is also home to Colorado State University, one of the nation’s leading research institutions. From performances at the prestigious University Center for the Arts, to leadership in clean energy and environmental science, and Rams game days at Hughes stadium and Moby Arena, CSU’s energy is felt well beyond campus.

Wander through the pedestrian-friendly streets of Old Town, enjoy the newest stores and restaurants on Harmony Road, and at Foothills Shopping Center, take a stroll through CSU’s tree-filled campus, or head to the foothills for an outdoor adventure. Enjoy all the town has to offer.
