Getting Around

Reno is fairly easy to navigate without a car; there is a great bus service, as well as taxi and rideshare options. If you'd like to visit Lake Tahoe, you'll definitely want to rent a car. Be sure to request all-weather tires or be prepared to carry snow chains-and actually use them, which can be a challenge-if you're headed to the mountains during the winter.

Best time to Visit

Spring and fall are the best times to visit Reno. Come in summer and you'll have to be prepared to spend an awful lot of quality time with your air-con, as the temperatures soar into the 90s°F on a pretty regular basis. But spring and fall have plenty of sun with much less sweat, and they're also less popular season with tourists, which means all the more discounted hotel rooms for you.

What to Pack

Reno is a city first and foremost, so you'll need whatever you would normally bring on a city break. But you'll also need items that make spending time outside easy. Here's what we suggest:

  • Sunglasses: It's not just hot in Reno, it's sunny. Keep your eyes safe and chic with a cool pair of shades.
  • High-factor sunscreen: Yes, there's a theme here. It's very sunny in Reno. Get sunscreened up and you won't have to give those dangerous rays a second thought.
  • Shoes you can walk in: The downtown part of the city needs to be explored on foot to be fully enjoyed, so bring shoes that don't give you blisters.
