    Very nice. May is a slow time and some businesses are closed to recover after winter ski season
    Main Street was great. We came in early may and it was a different feel for sure. Everything was slower and most places are in between winter and summer operations. Some businesses are closed. It was still nice to walk around!

    It’s a little too big so it loses some of its charm
    After traveling through some quaint towns to get here (like Buena Vista and Leadville) this Main Street just seems too big and commercial, not as charming as other Rocky Mountain towns. Lots of people, although there is a lot to do. Better to get off and walk in the old historic district.

    Good Way To Spend An Afternoon
    Lots of neat shops and restaurants as many people have mentioned. It's built for tourists but for some reason does not feel overly "touristy". The cafes and restaurants are all different and have their own niches and local flair. If you have a mixed party (men, women, kids, etc.) there is something for everyone and a good way to spend a relaxing afternoon if your tired from outdoor activities. Some of the clothing is a little over priced but that's to be expected in a spot like this.

The National Historic District in Breckenridge is very cute. Lots of little shops and restaurants. Unfortunately the sidewalks are not maintained at all from the snow, so be prepared and walk carefully.

Main street in the winter was awesome! It seemed like I was in a Hallmark movie walking along the charming shops. There are big retailers like Columbia and Patagonia and small, local shops and restaurants. It only goes for about 4 blocks, so it is absolutely walkable, but there is so much to see and do that it won't be quick. The little plaza next to the welcome center is great to take pictures and/or people watch.

I agree with the recent Tripadvisor article https://www.tripadvisor.com/Articles-lzJpeTn99clQ-Best_places_to_travel_august_us.html that Breckinridge, CO is one of the best places in the US to visit in Aug. We reside in the Denver suburb, and have been going there as a family (with 2 young children) every Aug. for the past 5 years. The Main Street is indeed a nice place to visit and hang out but this year, it has left me a bitter taste in my mouth. It used to be one of the more affordable ski towns to visit in CO (comparing to Vail and Aspen) but eating out has become ridiculously expensive. All the restaurants, coffee shops, and ice cream shops started to impose these out of control additional 5% service fee + 4% resort fee (as if the whole town is a resort when there are no "resort amenities") + automatic 18% tip for most sit-down restaurants in addition to the nearly 9% sales tax. Any food (crepe, ice cream, coffee, you name it) is double or triple the price you'd pay in Denver. All the restaurants on Main Street were all unimpressive so far. I understand that these places are "tourist traps" but really? Do you really have to be that money-hungry? If you go there, I'd recommend either packing your own lunch by buying something at a local City Market (Kroger/King Soopers) or drive a little bit to Frisco or Silverthorne and pay the normal folk price for better food.

So walking Main Street one will find lots of restaurants, lots of bars, lots of businesses, lots of gift shops and all of it looking pretty nice and clean. Enjoyed our walk and parking lots were easy to use for visitors. To be honest not as nice as my favorite mountain town of Telluride and all its charm, but quite enjoyable none the less.

This is a wonderful area to spend several hours, or several days, exploring the shops, galleries, eateries, etc.
We last visited here 5+ years ago, and were glad to rekindle the memories.
The Visitor's Center is a great place to start one's orientation to the area; with plenty of information, and an attached museum offering an interesting historical perspective of Breckenridge.
The shops range from touristy souvenir havens, to high-end art galleries; with a wide-range of options, in content and price-range, from which to choose in between (we really enjoyed Timeless Collections, among others).
And, if one cannot find an establishment to satisfy a gastronomic hunger or craving, one just isn't trying.
We visited mid-week mid-May, so the pace was leisurely and uncrowded; allowing us to enjoy the architecture and ambiance of the area (which is one reason we enjoy traveling off-season).
No matter when one visits, however, this section of Breckenridge is likely to offer up some pleasurable experiences.
