Downtown Salida is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Due to the cool summers and relatively mild winters, the area around Salida is nicknamed the "banana belt" of Colorado.

As the city is attractive, you will also find in addition to the historical buildings many art galleries.

The old town is located on the edge of the Arkansas, which makes it particularly pleasant.
