Perched atop the Southern bank of the Arkansas River, downtown’s views are as engaging as the wide variety of activities you’ll find there. From museums and theaters, to parks and shops, there’s something different around every corner. Hop on the River Trail Trolley for a sightseeing tour and to get the lay of the land. Then check out fresh produce, Arkansas-made items and delicious food in the River Market, stroll through the permanent and touring exhibits at the Clinton Presidential Center and learn about Arkansas’ diverse geography with interactive exhibits at the Witt Stephens Jr. Central Arkansas Nature Center.

Downtown Little Rock also includes the Quapaw Quarter, featuring the city’s oldest and most historic homes and structures. There you’ll find the MacArthur Museum of Arkansas Military History, the Arkansas Arts Center, the Arkansas Governor’s Mansion and the Villa Marre, known nationally as the exterior of the home containing the office of Sugarbaker Designs, the fictional Atlanta-based interior design firm on the CBS sitcom “Designing Women.”
