Located on the border of Iowa, Nebraska, and South Dakota, Sioux City is the fourth largest city in Iowa, and it may be the city with the most to offer. However, Sioux City is not a common location for visitors to travel to, possibly because not many people know the hidden gems in this beautiful mid-west state. Whether you’re traveling to Sioux City for work, or just going to explore, don’t miss out on these amazing spots to eat, sleep and play when you visit this town.
