Burlington

Among the cities of Iowa, Burlington stands out for its historic streets climbing the bluffs above the Mississippi River. The riverfront city developed as an important nineteenth-century settlement, and its Heritage Hill Historic District preserves a concentrated collection of homes and civic architecture from that era. Snake Alley, a brick lane laid out in a sequence of sharp curves, is Burlington’s best-known landmark and links the hillside neighbourhoods with downtown. Parks and trails along the waterfront keep the broad Mississippi central to daily life.
