It’s a lovely escape from the city.Īs is often the case in Billings, nothing is too far away. You’ll find many people out enjoying nature fishing, following the trails, or just sitting outdoors for a picnic. The Yellowstone River and lovely scenery of Riverfront Park sit just across the interstate – there are a number of Airbnbs in this quiet, scenic corner of Billings. While the Southwest Corridor is a place people usually stay for sheer convenience, it does have a charm of its own. For this reason, there are a number of hotels lining the route, ranging mostly from budget motels to the usual chain brands. The Southwest Corridor is the area surrounding Interstate 90, so it’s an ideal location for weary travelers needing a rest. This makes it a popular stop for brief overnight stays on road trips traveling through Montana. Southwest Corridorīillings is only 100 miles from the closest entrance to Yellowstone National Park.

While the museums are fantastic, it’s the craft beers and breweries that are really putting Billings on the map. There are a few more traditional museums in the area as well, detailing local history: the Western Heritage Center is housed in an impressive building in historic downtown, and the 1903 Moss Mansion is arguably even better. Murals and street art give some of the more drab alleyways a fresh burst of life, the district is filled with new artist studios, and the Yellowstone Art Museum is dedicated to contemporary art. There are plenty of historical buildings – particularly in the North Side area – ranging from the time Billings was first known as ‘Magic City’ in the late 1800s, to the 20th-century architecture that dominates the city today.ĭowntown is the district leading Billings into a creative, trendier new era. It’s also one of the nicer parts of Billings in terms of architecture. The busiest part of Billings has everything you would expect in a city center, with shops, museums, restaurants, and nightlife all concentrated into this district.

There are dozens of parks and hiking trails that start in Billings Heights, making it a great choice for families that love the great outdoors!ĭowntown is where all the action happens.

Some of the views over Yellowstone River aren’t half bad, either.

The accommodation is cheap and you won’t be going far out of your way.
