Make the Most of Your Burlington Stay

Historic river town with architectural distinction

Burlington anchors the Mississippi River in southeastern Iowa, where the world-famous Snake Alley—a serpentine brick street built in 1894—winds up the bluff from the commercial district. This former territorial capital preserves its 19th-century prosperity through the Heritage Hill Historic District, where over 160 Victorian and Queen Anne structures overlook the waterfront. The revitalized riverfront features a promenade and boat docking facilities that reconnect downtown with the river.

Cultural experiences and river views

The restored Art Deco Capitol Theater anchors downtown entertainment, while the Phelps House Museum provides insight into Burlington's industrial-era elite lifestyle. Dining options include The Drake's riverfront setting and Martini's Grille with Mississippi River views. The downtown district is walkable, with Southeast Iowa Regional Airport offering connections to Chicago O'Hare. The annual Snake Alley Criterium transforms the historic street into a challenging bicycle race course each Memorial Day weekend.

Exploring the region

Crapo Park's 85 acres provide green space along the southern bluffs, while nearby Nauvoo, Illinois offers a glimpse into 1840s frontier life just 40 minutes across the river. The city's position makes it an accessible base for exploring the Great River Road's historic towns and scenic overlooks.
