Visiting Des Moines
The Iowan capital, Des Moines, is an enigmatic high-rise city amongst the flat farmlands of the Midwest. As the leader of the US insurance industry, Downtown Des Moines is suave, sophisticated, and savvy. It enjoys the finer things in life such as art and culture, as portrayed by the sensational Pappajohn Sculpture Park and botanical garden. As refined as Des Moines is, the city has a more edgy side too. The East Village has grown over recent years to become a hive of trendy bars and brewpubs mixed with independent shops and eateries.
