Most accommodation is located Downtown, the commercial heart of the city. Head here for the best of Little Rock’s shopping, dining, and nightlife.
Those keen to delve into the city’s cultural side will be best positioned along the Arkansas River. The Old State House Museum, Historic Arkansas Museum, and the William J. Clinton Presidential Center and Park can all be found along its banks.
Young professionals will revel in the River Market district’s wholesome yet eclectic atmosphere. From its independent shops to its alternative events, the district always offers something fun and off-beat to check out.
Creatives will feel most at home near Downtown’s Main Street Creative Corridor. Along it, expect to find the best of the city’s galleries and art shops, as well as some yummy restaurants and several top cultural attractions.
On the north bank of the Arkansas River, North Little Rock is also known for its splendid selection of art galleries and its Argenta Historic District. Not only does this district offer a charming historic atmosphere and excellent panoramic views of Little Rock, but it also offers an eclectic choice of bars, shops, and restaurants.
Families and budget travellers may prefer West Little Rock, a more affordable district west of Downtown. It is centred around the Little Rock Zoo and its nearby family-friendly shops and restaurants — some of which are even animal-themed!
It’s easy to navigate Downtown Little Rock on foot, but if you choose to stay in one of the surrounding neighbourhoods, you can rely on the local buses to help you explore.
