Iowa City Vacation Rentals |
Iowa City Vacation Rentals welcomes you to Iowa City. Iowa City was the first state capital of Iowa, until the capital was moved to Des Moines in 1857. The Old Capitol building is a major landmark, and stands as a tourist attraction in the middle of the University of Iowa campus. Located nearby are museums such as Iowa Hall and MacBride Hall. The University of Iowa Art Museum and Plum Grove, home of the first governor of Iowa are other tourist attractions. From May to October enjoy the Farmers Market which offers a large variety of vendors with fresh fruits, veggies, and herbs.
Iowa City offers many parks located throughout the city. Terrill Mill Park offers picnic areas, biking and hiking trails, and a skate park, while City Park offers a swimming pool, tennis courts, sand volleyball, lakes with canoe and boat docks, jogging paths, and even carnival rides. If you’re looking for that extra long trail that is hard surfaced for biking, walking, jogging, and in line skating, then the Iowa River Corridor Trail is one for you. Running six miles long and accesses to many parks, this trail leads thru nature and city.
Iowa City is home to a vibrant music scene with a wide variety of styles. Greg Brown, Dave Zollo, Kelly Pardykooper, and William Elliott Whitmore play folk and roots rock. Bad Fathers play hip hop. Ten Grand, Faultlines, Wax Cannon, The Slats, King Toad, Troubled Hubble, and Making Hey! all have been connected to the city. No Shame Theatre, which began in Iowa City, provides an open stage for developing musicians, actors, comedians, and other performers.
A night on the town could find you at the car-free Pedestrian Mall where it serves as a gathering place for students and locals, and draws large crowds for its summertime events. Examples of such events are the Friday Night Concert Series and the annual Jazz Fest. The most popular attraction in the Pedestrian Mall is the Iowa City night life. The Hancher Auditorium hosts national touring theaters and musical shows, such as "Lincoln Center Jazz".
