Whether you’re just driving through on a trip across I-80 or you have a longer stay in mind, act like a local with these tips.
Food: Quad Cities-style pizza — it’s a thing. Aside from inventing taco pizza, the QC’s famous sweet crust, spicy sauce, and crumble sausage combo has been nationally featured.
Nightlife: It’s hard to beat downtown Davenport for local nightlife (especially UP Skybar). If you’re on the other side of the Mississippi, try paring music at The Rust Belt with views from the River Room.
Outdoors: QC Trails’ interactive map lets you toggle types of activities (walking, biking, riding, and even paddling), amount of difficulty, and by surface types.
Hotel: Stoney Creek Hotel is located on the banks of the Mississippi with close-by access to Vibrant Arena at the Mark, the John Deere Pavilion, and Bass Street. (~$170/night)
