The broad, tree-lined Promenade and its continuation in Montpellier Walk look for the caryatids and Montpellier Street, the town's smart shopping streets (the chain stores are mercifully elsewhere, in the High Street.
Imperial Gardens off the Promenade with its colourful display of summer flowers.
Pittville Park, laid out in the early 19th century as the centre of the then-new residential area of Pittville. The park is arranged round an artificial lake, with Pittville Pump Room on the hillside at the north-western edge. The Pump Room is open for free visits to see the fine interior and water tasting when it is not being used for events or weddings.
Go for a drink at The Rising Sun Hotel. It's a bar/hotel at the top of Cleeve hill overlooking Cheltenham. If you get there for sunset the views of Cheltenham are spectacular.
Use the town as a touring base (http://www.cotswolds.com) - it's very much part of the Cotswolds.
