Or maybe these Massachusetts girls just weren’t used to how friendly everyone in Utah is. Like, why is everyone in Salt Lake so excited about this pass? You have a Connect Pass! That’s awesome! Fantastic! Amazing! This was not the case in Salt Lake, to the point where it became a bit of a joke for me and Anna, because everyone we showed it to responded with such enthusiasm. I’ve used similar passes in cities before and I have to say, they so often end up being a bit of a pain, with people at some attractions not knowing how to redeem them. You can find more information and prices here. Sometimes I need that extra little push to go out and make the most of my days in a new city, and the Connect Pass did just that. Of course it saves you money on the attractions, but I also just loved that it encouraged me to visit a bunch of different places to make the pass worthwhile. You can buy a pass for your entire stay or just a day, depending on when you want to be out exploring. The Connect Pass is an all in one ticket for 16 offerings at 13 attractions around the city. I would have happily spent all my time restaurant hopping and window shopping in downtown. And Salt Lake is definitely one of those effortless cities.īut I’m also so glad they included those Connect Passes, because otherwise I’m not sure I would have realized quite how much there is to see and do in Salt Lake. Some places win you over without even trying, whereas some require a bit more effort to get to know. It’s like how if someone writes to me saying they’ll be visiting Bergen I’m like, you’re going to love it! Whereas if they say they’re heading to Oslo I’m like, you’re going to love it – but only if you do everything on this list. That’s when I know they’re confident I’ll love my trip because I’m visiting somewhere really cool – regardless of what I do. I’ve worked with a lot of tourism boards, and I’ve learned that it’s always a really good sign when they’re laidback about what I do during my visit. They agreed, but instead of sending us an itinerary of places or experiences they’d like me to feature they simple told us to have a fun weekend, and they emailed us each a Salt Lake Connect Pass for the city. I reached out to Visit Salt Lake before our visit asking if they’d like to partner for a campaign. It seemed like around every corner we were stumbling across another colorful mural. While maybe I was most excited about the mountain views surrounding the city, Salt Lake City itself is really pretty too. One of my favorite views of Salt Lake and the mountains around the city was actually from the garden at the top of the public library. Though actually I checked with Anna, who is definitely 100% a city girl, and she also loved how beautiful Salt Lake is. Okay maybe this means that I’m not really a city girl at heart, because even in cities I’m all about the beautiful views.

It takes a lot to impress me now, and I loved Salt Lake City. Like, I fully felt like I had stumbled on a hidden gem – unless everyone else already knew about Salt Lake? I mean I have been living out of the country for many years now.Īnd what have I been doing over those many years abroad? Traveling through cities in over 80 countries. Salt Lake City certainly did not disappoint, and in fact whoa did it blow us both away. So I crossed my fingers and toes that we’d be able to find a nice restaurant or two, and maybe they’d have a Sephora? And a Madewell, because I ruined my jeans in Zion and we don’t have Madewell in Norway. But this was supposed to be our time away from the mountains, on the fun city break I had promised Anna when booking all those glamping sites in national parks. I mean, I also remembered from the 2002 Winter Olympics that Salt Lake was surrounded by lots of pretty mountains. Pretty much the only reason Anna and I decided to stop in Salt Lake City was that we were going to be spending a lot of time in national parks and rural areas on this trip and we figured that we’d need a bit of city time as well. I visited Salt Lake City as part of a paid campaign with Visit Salt Lake
