Review:
Set on the banks of the Mississippi River, Dubuque has transformed from a humble mining town into a modern city with a wonderful array of things for visitors to see and do. Take the incredibly steep Fenelon Place Elevator up Fourth Street for some incredible views, visit the Dubuque Museum of Art, or stop by The National Mississippi River Museum and Aquarium to learn about the aquatic life in America's riverways. If you want to spend as much time as possible by the water, you can visit the William M. Black steamboat in the harbor or cruise down the river in an inflatable military-style boat.
