Luoghi imperdibili
Una selezione per iniziare a sognare e organizzare il soggiorno — non un elenco esaustivo di tutto ciò che c’è da vedere.
Culture and heritage
Iowa State Capitol
The Iowa State Capitol is recognized by its golden domes that shine above Des Moines. Inside, monumental staircases, legal library, painted decors and legislative rooms make up a very visual visit, with as a bonus an unobstructed view of the city centre from the hill.
Nature and landscape
Pappajohn Sculpture Park
Pappajohn Sculpture Park installs major contemporary works in the lawns of Western Gateway, in the heart of the Des Moines The sculptures are discovered in open air, between buildings, paths and benches, making art very accessible without losing the pleasure of an urban walk.
Culture and heritage
Greater Des Moines Botanical Garden
The Greater Des Moines Botanical Garden offers a plant parenthesis at the edge of the Des Moines River, with a large tropical greenhouse, outdoor gardens and seasonal collections. In winter or in gray weather, the humid heat of palm trees and orchids completely changes the atmosphere of the city.
Culture and heritage
Salisbury House
Set in a wooded area of Des Moines, Salisbury House is re-opened with an English mansion with dark beams, worked stone and richly decorated rooms. The visit reveals both the collection of the Weeks family and Tudor architecture, between library, art works, tapestries and calm views of trees.
