World Atlas announced its list of Iowa's seven most charming cities, and Council Bluffs ranked fourth! Many of our residents and visitors see the beauty of our community, and it's wonderful to be recognized on a popular site like World Atlas. Their top seven Iowa communities include:

  • Cedar Rapids
  • Waterloo
  • Ames
  • Council Bluffs
  • Ankeny
  • Dubuque
  • Iowa City

They chose these cities based on their outdoor opportunities, natural beauty, and unique attractions, making the destination a great place to visit and live. Their site focuses on travel-related stories, information, and inspiration.

You can experience the charm of our city by spending time at Tom Hanafan River's Edge Park soaking in the sun, enjoying dinner and drinks on the Historic 100 Block of West Broadway, or taking a stroll through historic Bayliss Park. Our superior sports facilities, parks, and recreational trail system keeps the community lively and energized.
