Quaint well kept downtown. Most restaurants offering interior and exterior. Shop owners generally make you feel welcome. Extremely handicap friendly. Most alleys are set up in a mini strip mall environment. Very pretty

I loved it! It was really great! Me and my wife took the train. We took the Gold Line and got off at the Del Mar station. It was really awesome. We were able to then walk to Old Town Pasadena. There are a lot of great shops there. And its a great way to escape Los Angeles and we didnt even need a car! Cant wait to go back and try those different shops.

Gorgeous area to shop and dine. Parking in a garage is easy and the streets are very well maintained. I often bring my pup with me as there are many pet friendly establishments.For further details, check out my travel blog.

Welcome to Old Pasadena. Theyve got a city hall the size of a State Capitol, a gorgeous old spanish-revival style hotel, a full size convention center and more restaurants than I could count. Youll drive by the nearby neighborhoods wishing that you could afford one of those handsome homes. If youre in SoCal and have time for a morning stroll this is a great place to do it.

Nice place to visit with an Old Town charm. The place gets a little crowded at dinner time and the prices can be up there at most restaurants but it is a nice day out of the house anytime the weather is nice... Which is quite often in LA.

Fun place to walk up and down the block. Lots of places to eat and drink. The shopping is not my favorite, nothing there really appeals to me. Not to say anything negative, just not for me.

This is a section of Pasadena that runs along Colorado Blvd from Pasadena Ave to Arroyo Parkway and 1 block south plus 2-3 blocks north. So as you can see it’s a large shopping, dinning and entertainment area. You will find lost of restaurants and some trending bars with music. An Apple store, Crate and Barrel and Pottery Barn, even a Container store. Lots of little stores too, kind of like an open air mall. Parking can be found a multiple public parking lots located mostly 1 or 2 blocks north or south of Colorado Blvd. along Green St to the south or Union St to the north. Most of the time you can get the first 90 minutes free. If you take the Fold line just get off at the Memorial Park station and walk south. Have fun!

Great for a night out with plenty of shops, dining, and entertainment options to go to. My only complaint would be the traffic and parking during the busy hours. You just gotta know where and keep track if you dont want to pay for parking. Otherwise, Old Pasadena is great.

Love walking down Colorado boulevard in Old Town. Each building is unique. Stop window shopping often to look up at the unique designs that crown each building. Imagine when this was that famous Route 66. There are so many wonderful places to eat. Youll want to return h ed re often as I have. Bring your friends here. And dont miss walking under Pasadena City Hall.

This is a beautiful town full of shopping and great restaurants. FYI, Pasadena requires face masks be worn or you will be fined. So make sure to wear a mask. Be prepared to pay for structured parking & street parking.

So what is the deal with Old Pasadena. Like why does it have to be called Old like it was some sort of unfashionable old guy? I dont know the answer to this question but I do know that Old Pasadena is in Pasadena and it doesnt matter how old you are as they say age is just a number.

Beautiful but parking is bad. You need to pay for parking. Metered or by the hour / day. Delivery drivers, be ready to fight for a pick up spot or to park at metered parking. Be ready to carry some quarters.

I was only waiting for a bus but noticed that all the restaurants were so full that although out on sidewalks; that it didnt make a difference whether they were wearing masks or not. This is probably why Pasadena should close them down because the people arent paying attention. The sidewalks were so crowded I had trouble getting around.

The houses are worth driving around and looking at some incredible architectural styles and historic homes that can be enjoyed streetwise. If you are looking for Spanish Revival antiques there are some incredible shops. Good restaurants, great neighborhood for a walk, close to the Metro. Pasadena has recovered from some bad years in the 70s and 80s.

Definitely has a charm to it. Has a great mix of modern and classic architecture throughout the city. I highly recommend walking through iteven if its just for a day to check out. Whats more is that the night life is pretty pumping as well. Parking is pretty ample and theres a lot to do you wont be bored I promise.

Old Pasadena has an array of old buildings some been carefully renovated and all very interesting architecturally. There are no bus tours, only private cars for small groups which tend to be expensive, so best research yourself and get out there. There are some great shops, antiques, bakeries, teashops and lots of restaurants. Some upmarket stores too so something for everyone.
