Great local food. They don't take reservations, so be prepared to sit at the bar and listen to some live music on most nights as you wait. Little pricey, but great food.

The Cathedral of Saint Helena is the cathedral of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Helena, Montana. Pretty to just drive by or if it's open, go inside for a look around.

On a warm summer day, this is a great spot to walk through Helena of old. This is the historic Helena, where old buildings perserved and you can get a taste of how Helena started. There are a couple businesses located there, but it is mostly just fun to look around. Great photo opps with historic buildings, brick, cobblestone, etc.
