Get the lay of the land at the Concord Visitor Center, where you’ll find maps, merchandise and helpful travel advice. Vintage photos from the Concord Historical Society show how the landscape once looked, while also showcasing the city’s evolution. From here, embark on your self-guided walking tour. (Please note, the audio works best through the Geotourist app that’s available for Apple or Android devices.)
The tour highlights more than two dozen sites, including historic structures like the Salvio Pacheco Adobe and a 1938 firehouse, along with a memorial honoring Concord-born jazz musician Dave Brubeck. When it’s time for food, detour into LiMA, a mainstay that serves Peruvian fare, or order a sandwich and a California-brewed beer at the Hop Grenade. Both downtown spots have dog-friendly seating.
