Review & FAQ:
Iowa City is the location of the University of Iowa, and it's home to a youthful student population that gives the city a dynamic, artsy energy. The picturesque Iowa River runs right through the university campus and offers some wonderful walking opportunities, but if you're looking for something more unique, make sure to visit the Devonian Fossil Gorge, where you can stroll across a 375-million-year-old ocean floor. History lovers should also visit the museum in the Old Capital Museum and stop by the Mormon Handcart Site to see where 19th-century Mormons prepared for their emigration across the country.
