#10 Best
Your guide to exploring Dubuque.
Dubuque is where Iowa started. It’s where limestone bluffs meet the Mississippi River. It’s where you’ll come for a day of meetings but want to visit again. Dubuque is #WhereIowaStarted.
The neighborhoods
Downtown
Situated between limestone bluffs and the Mississippi River, the heart of Dubuque features brick buildings, the Town Clock, delicious dining, and much more.
Port of Dubuque
The Port was once a hub for river traffic that hauled logs up and down the mighty Mississippi. Today, the area is known for its recreation and location along the river.
Historic Millwork
Where revitalized warehouses span city blocks, the Historic Millwork District is one of the latest public-private efforts to celebrate Dubuque's history #WhereIowaStarted.
Schmitt Island
This island was named to honor fallen soldier Chaplain Aloysius Schmitt. Today, veteran heroes like him are memorialized at the Veterans' Memorial Plaza.
