DOWNTOWN

Historic downtown Tuscaloosa is home to some of Alabama's best restaurants, cafes and entertainment venues. From intimate specialty coffee shops to big shows at the Mercedes-Benz Amphitheater, downtown has something for everyone.

The RIVERWALK

The Riverwalk is a local favorite for a morning jog on the path, or unwinding under the shade of the trees as you watch the Black Warrior River roll by. The area also has several restaurants, shops and parks lining the path.
