Cheyenne is home to the world’s largest outdoor rodeo. This summer, visitors may experience cowboy culture up close with the new Saddle Up Pass. Priced at $125, this pass includes discounts to local shops and restaurants, a 60-minute horseback ride and roping lesson at Terry Bison Ranch, a 90-minute Wild West Tour aboard Cheyenne Street Railway Trolley, museum passes, and a photoshoot with a complimentary print at Emma’s Old Time Photos.

 

“The nostalgia of the American west is thriving, driving music charts, fashion trends, and travel decisions,” said Domenic Bravo, CEO, Visit Cheyenne. “Cheyenne is one of the few authentic destinations that has not deviated from its western roots and instead offers a non-commodified dose of true cowboy culture. Visitors will rub shoulders with cowboys and ranchers — real ones — and find ample opportunity for genuine connection to our city’s heritage and community through the Saddle Up Pass.”

The fifth annual Hell on Wheels open rodeo series kicked off June 7 and continues on select Fridays through September. Cheyenne Frontier Days returns July 19–28 with a full schedule of rodeo events, special dinners and concerts.

Move to the Music and Rhythm of Destinations Around the World

The true rhythm of a country is felt away from the main tourist traps. Galleries, museums and historic sites provide an overview, but you need to go elsewhere to experience the living, beating heart of a place. For instance, immerse yourself in the humid turmoil of a Durban underground club, or get to grips with the formal group dances of the Scottish Highlands, or become part of the foot-stomping camaraderie of a Galway pub, or ride the waves of neon-lit energy in a Seoul basement nightclub.

Best of Both Worlds

Enjoy the best of both worlds when you fly with TAP Air Portugal thanks to the Portugal Stopover program. With the program, TAP passengers, whether traveling for business, leisure or both, can stop in Portugal for up to 10 days at no additional airfare on the way to their final destination. What does this mean for travelers wishing to explore by both land and sea? It means after flying to Portugal with TAP and experiencing the country in an entirely new way, travelers can then embark on scenic river and ocean cruises from  Portugal’s port cities, or fly with TAP to another European destination.
