Nowadays it is certainly much more peaceful, but you will be reminded about the dark past of Tombstone wherever you go in the town.
Have a look at the boothill, the cemetary, where you can see who is burried there and how he or she died. Hmm, looks that almost a minority has died by natural causes.
Also you should have a look at the Court House, which nowadays functions as a museum. There you will get to know a lot of the history of Tombstone and the region, but of course also a detailed research about the gunfight. It is highly recommended!
And, this clear, just walk around in the streets and get this flair of the lively (or deadly) wild west. Here and there people are walking around in clothes from the past. It makes the whole scenery quite authentic.

• Pros:Interesting town
• Cons:Not many choices to find food.
• In a nutshell:An experience!
