Welcome to Little Rock! From the Little Rock Convention & Visitors Bureau

On behalf of the Little Rock Convention & Visitors Bureau, I welcome you to Little Rock! As Arkansas’s capital city, Little Rock is a dynamic and diverse place teeming with world-class dining, arts, hotels, shopping and attractions. It’s a city where intrepid explorers, civil rights pioneers and even world leaders have left their mark.

A lot has happened in Little Rock since the first European set foot here in 1722, and that history is on display at museums across the city. Visits to the William J. Clinton Presidential Library and Museum and the Little Rock Central High School National Historic Site shine a light on the city’s more recent role in the ongoing fight for civil rights.

While you’re here, take the time to experience the city’s booming foodie scene, where fine dining rubs elbows with award-winning Southern staples. Cut loose in the River Market District, our nightlife hub; explore the murals, sculptures and other public art sprinkled across town; or make memories that will last a lifetime at the numerous annual festivals and events that dot the calendar.

If you feel the call of nature, it’s easy to answer it here. Little Rock has more than 1,200 miles of cycling trails to explore. You can also hike to the top of Pinnacle Mountain or explore the Arkansas River from a rented kayak.

Little Rock is known for its charm and hospitality, sincere service, genuine people and engaging experiences. Welcoming folks is just what we do. I feel confident that after you experience the pleasant surprise of our city, you too will find yourself Big on Little Rock!

Enjoy your stay,

Gina Gemberling, CDME President & CEO Little Rock Convention & Visitors Bureau
