Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Culture and heritage
Eureka Springs Historic District
The historic district of Eureka Springs climbs and turns on narrow streets, lined with Victorian houses, stairs, balconies and shops installed on the slope. The absence of a regular plan gives the city a very special relief, where each turn reveals a facade or a view of the Ozarks.
Place indismissible
Thorncrown Chapel
Thorncrown Chapel stands in the forest with a structure of wood and glass that lets the trees enter the interior space. The light, the vertical lines and the silence of the undergrowth make it a short but striking visit, more architectural than strictly religious.
Place indismissible
Christ of the Ozarks
Christ of the Ozarks dominates the hills near to Eureka Springs With its large white silhouette with open arms. The site attracts as much for its religious imagery as for its very American character, between panorama of the Ozarks, biblical theatre and visible monument from afar.
Culture and heritage
Blue Spring Heritage Center
Blue Spring Heritage Center The site combines natural beauty and Aboriginal memory, as the source was a long time important landmark in the area before becoming a garden accessible to visitors.
