Iowa City: A Great Big Storm

Iowa City: A Great Big Storm

Welcome

Welcome to Iowa City, Coralville and North Liberty, where curiosity is cultivated and thoughtfulness is a way of life. 

A City of Literature that is home to aspiring writers and avid readers, this curious collection of communities sits tucked into the seam of a rich riverbed winding through Iowa’s lush land. The gold dome of a historic state capital beckons from the rolling hills of the University of Iowa. Downtown, deep thinkers debate over a pie shake and pancakes while poets pack out the state’s oldest independent bookstore.

Iowa City is a collection of communities with an array of intriguing attractions.

Indie boutiques and major retailers challenge even the most seasoned of shoppers. Hiking, biking and kayaking encourage the explorers. Football and wrestling attract the UI loyal by the thousands. Museums, libraries and fossils intrigue the curious. And with craft breweries and farm-to-table restaurants, foodies think they’ve died and gone to heaven. Let’s face it, when a side of bacon is on the menu, you have.
