Food scene
We do not make recommendations on where to eat in Sedona as it is pricey and people's tastes are so varied. We recommend checking out ratings and stars provided in common rating apps.
This restaurant in the Village of Oak Creek is one of the few we can recommend as it's never been as overly priced as other places and has decent food. But beware, it is always busy.

Roundabouts
One of the seemingly most confusing things to visitors are our roundabouts. Huh, what's that? It's a circle instead of a stop sign or stop light. First, it is a yield, not a stop. As you approach, take a look to your right and judge if it's safe or not. If it looks like the person is going to turn toward you, then slow and possibly stop, otherwise proceed through as you would a yield.
Cómo moverse
"Expect delays"
Sedona gets super busy on weekends, holidays and spring break. Yeah, Google may say 10 minutes but that's likely not the case. Give yourself extra time. There is only a 2-lane road without ability to pass, so sit back and relax, you're just not going to get there any faster! (Trust me, we locals wish it were 2 lanes the whole way! But that said, even 2 lane West Sedona gets slow.)

The Village of Oak Creek vs West Sedona vs Uptown Sedona
HUH?! I thought it was Sedona! Yes, it's all a Sedona address, but you'll commonly hear all three to provide a better indication of in which part of it all something is located. See, two highways make up our main roads! Think of a "Y", where the leg is AZ-179 that comes from I-17, through the Village of Oak Creek, along the 1-lane Red Rock Parkway to a roundabout with a metal sculpture, where it veers left across the bridge and up a little hill to meet AZ-89A. AZ-89A is the top of the "Y", where right is Uptown Sedona and left is West Sedona.

You need a car!
Please know that Sedona is rural and doesn't have great transportation options. DO NOT assume you can easily get an Uber or Lyft, as they are not big here yet.
The only public transportation is the Verde Valley Shuttle. You can get more information online or reference the laminate information card in the unit.
