Visit The Friendliest Town In Arkansas The Next Time You Need A Pick-Me-Up

When you need a pick-me-up, we know just the place – Fayetteville. It’s got lots going for it, including the fact that it’s the friendliest town in Arkansas.

Fayetteville is most known as the home of the University of Arkansas, but that’s not its only claim to fame. It’s also one of the South’s friendliest cites, according to Southern Living.

Some might be surprised by Fayetteville’s ranking as the friendliest city in Arkansas, since it is one of the largest cities in the state.

However, Fayetteville isn’t your typical city. Instead, it’s touted as “an experience,” boasting everything from welcoming residents to big city perks, like the Dickson Street Entertainment District.

The lively street is lined with bistros, eateries, clubs, and galleries. It's also where you'll find George's Majestic Lounge, the state's oldest live music venue.

A thriving art scene is another of the city's perks.

A "Mecca for artistic expression," the city is home to sculpture gardens, murals, and Terra Studios, an acclaimed art gallery, park, and education center.

In spite of its size, Fayetteville, in some ways, feels like a small town.

Not only are the residents friendly and the city charming, but it boasts small town favorites, like a drive-in theater.

Wide open spaces only add to the city's small town vibe.

Northwest Arkansas is known for jaw-dropping views, and Fayetteville is no exception.

Cycling is a great way to explore the city - and all it has to offer.

Not only are there over 100 miles of multi-use trails, but the city plays host to an array of cycling events.

You don’t have to be an avid biker to cruise around, though. Bike-friendly paths wind through downtown, so you can easily explore the city.
