3. Downtown

HELEN.   Dressed to look like a charming Alpine Village, Helen's downtown area is especially abuzz during the fall and winter months. In September and on into October, the city comes alive with the sights and sounds of Oktoberfest. As the year pulls to a close, city folks come from miles around to shop the friendly little boutiques for any of a variety of good gift ideas – steins, handmade candles, local art and even cuckoo clocks. When the shopping's done, pull into one of the many eating places along Main Street and enjoy everything from traditional sauerbraten to homemade fudge.   (© 10Best)
