Downtown Redding mixes historic charm with small-city vibes in a walkable core centered around the Art Deco Cascade Theatre. Stroll the Market Street Promenade to find local shops, admire public art installations, or catch a show at this 1935 landmark. The Sacramento River flows nearby, offering peaceful trails and fishing spots when you need a break from exploring the brick buildings and cultural venues.
Casual restaurants and craft breweries dot the district, with prices that won't break the bank. Most downtown accommodations feature vintage charm with modern amenities in converted historic buildings. Getting around is easiest on foot within the compact core, with ample parking available especially after business hours.
Hilltop is Redding's shopping paradise, with sprawling plazas and chain restaurants set against mountain views. The commercial strip buzzes with activity while nearby residential areas offer a glimpse into suburban California life. Turtle Bay Exploration Park and the impressive Sundial Bridge are just a short drive away for when you're ready to mix nature with your retail therapy.
Hotels cater to travelers with standard amenities and mid-range prices, making this area perfect for Interstate 5 road-trippers. While you'll need a car to get around, the trade-off is ample free parking and easy highway access to nearby Whiskeytown Lake for outdoor adventures.
Shasta View
Tucked away on the eastern edge of Redding, Shasta View offers a glimpse into authentic California suburban life. Hiking trails through Clover Creek Preserve reward you with stunning Mount Shasta views while avoiding tourist crowds. The neighborhood's quiet streets and family-friendly parks make perfect morning strolls or evening walks under the mountain silhouette.
Most visitors choose Shasta View as a budget-friendly base camp. Local vacation rentals cost less than downtown options while keeping you just a short drive from Turtle Bay Exploration Park and the Sacramento River. You'll need a car to explore properly, but the peaceful surroundings make coming home each evening feel like a breath of fresh air.
Turtle Bay blends natural beauty with cultural richness along the Sacramento River in Redding. The iconic Sundial Bridge stretches across the water, leading to a 300-acre exploration park filled with botanical gardens and nature trails. The museum showcases regional wildlife and Native American heritage through interactive exhibits that delight curious travelers of all ages.
Pack comfortable walking shoes to fully enjoy the meandering riverside paths and garden tours. While dining options are limited within the park itself, downtown Redding offers more variety just a short drive away. The area has minimal public transit, so having your own vehicle is recommended for exploring beyond the parklands.
Boulder Creek
Boulder Creek invites nature-lovers to unplug in Redding's greenest pocket. This laid-back neighborhood borders gentle waters perfect for summer splashing and fishing. Hikers can hit scenic trails while bird-watchers spot local wildlife. Bethel Church attracts visitors year-round, while nearby Waterworks Park offers family-friendly fun.

"I like staying at this hotel when I am in town for work. Rooms are always spotless, bathrooms are huge and beds are comfortable. They provide hot and cold water to drink and an assortment of tea. "
"My son and I did an impromptu overnight trip to explore Redding, Shasta and see Burney Falls. We were so happy to have stayed at this Best Western. The place was nice, clean and all the staff were kind, friendly, helpful and just overall amazing. One of the staff recommended great places to see and how best to maximize out one day visit in the area. So grateful to everyone there. And my sons loved the nice pool & spa! We look forward to going back again."
