About Little Rock

Arkansas’ leafy state capital, Little Rock is an excellent destination for history and culture buffs, as well as outdoorsy explorers. This small city is perched on the south bank of the Arkansas River, within easy reach of the spectacular Ozark and Ouachita Mountains. Accommodation options include heritage B&Bs as well as elegant landmark hotels, fit for a whole range of tastes and budgets. Many of the best places to stay in Arkansas are close to the downtown area, well-situated for exploring.

Cultural attractions abound in Little Rock. Visit the William J Clinton Presidential Library and Museum, and delve into the region’s past at the Old State House Museum, set in a striking Greek Revival building. The Arkansas Arts Centre and the State Capitol are also highlights. The Little Rock Central High School National Historic Site commemorates the role of the Little Rock Nine in the fight for Civil Rights and desegregation — it’s a fascinating place to tour, especially in conjunction with other sites on the Civil Rights Trail.

Head into Pinnacle Mountain State Park for hiking, rock climbing and paddling, cycle along the Arkansas River Trail, or go kayaking, fishing and boating. There are great parks, golf courses, a nature centre and a zoo in Little Rock, too, ideal for active travellers of all ages.

Back in the city centre, the revitalised downtown area is home to a burgeoning array of bars, eateries and entertainment venues. Check out the latest events and exhibitions before retiring to one of the best places to stay in Little Rock.
