Bus to Davenport

Davenport is the largest of the Quad Cities, the four-city cluster on the Mississippi River where Iowa and Illinois meet. The Quad Cities — Davenport and Bettendorf in Iowa, Rock Island and Moline in Illinois — face each other across the river and run as one working metropolitan region of about 380,000. The bus to Davenport drops you on the central Mississippi waterfront at the Ground Transportation Center on West River Drive, with the Figge Art Museum, the Putnam Museum, the German American Heritage Center and the Bix Beiderbecke walking trail all reachable on foot. People come for the Mississippi waterfront, for the Bix Beiderbecke jazz festival in late July, for the Figge and Putnam museums, for John Deere Pavilion across the river in Moline, and for an unhurried Quad Cities weekend that pairs the river with the surrounding small-town Iowa landscape. A Davenport bus ticket lands you on the central downtown waterfront.

Greyhound stops in Davenport

Davenport has two Greyhound stops. The main one is the Davenport Ground Transportation Center at 304 West River Drive, on the central Mississippi waterfront — a full terminal that's the right choice for most travellers. The second is the Speedway flag stop at 8320 Hillandale Road, on the northwest side of the city near the I-80 corridor. As Hillandale is curbside, plan to arrive at least 15 minutes before departure to be in position when the bus pulls in.

The Ground Transportation Center is the central transit hub, shared with the Citibus local network and Burlington Trailways, putting you within walking distance of the Figge Art Museum, the Putnam Museum, the central downtown blocks and the Mississippi waterfront promenade. As a full terminal there's indoor seating, restrooms and the basic shelter you'd expect; plan to arrive in good time so you can find your platform and get checked in.

If you're being met, the surrounding streets at both stops are familiar territory for rideshare drivers and there's space inside the building if the weather isn't cooperating. Have your ticket ready on your phone or printed for boarding.

Getting around Davenport after your bus to Davenport arrives

Davenport's central downtown is more compact than the Quad Cities footprint suggests, and from the Ground Transportation Center the Figge Art Museum, the Putnam Museum, the German American Heritage Center and the central restaurants are all within a comfortable walk. The Mississippi River waterfront is right at the door, with LeClaire Park stretching east along the river.

The Citibus network — Davenport's local public transport — runs out of the same Ground Transportation Center, with useful routes connecting downtown to the Village of East Davenport and the surrounding districts. Across the river in the Illinois Quad Cities, Rock Island County's MetroLink network covers Rock Island and Moline; the two systems connect through a coordinated transfer at the Centre Station near downtown Rock Island. Service runs through the day on weekdays and lighter on weekends. Rideshare runs reliably across the metro and is the realistic option for evening trips.

For the wider Quad Cities and the surrounding region — John Deere Pavilion in Moline, Rock Island Arsenal, the Mississippi River Trail, the surrounding Iowa farm country — a rental car is the practical option. Cycling is also viable on the long Mississippi River Trail, which runs along both banks of the river through the Quad Cities. The river is a working commercial waterway and the lock-and-dam system at Locks 14 and 15 is genuinely impressive for visitors who haven't seen it before.

Top things to do in Davenport

  • The Figge Art Museum, on the central downtown Mississippi waterfront in the David Chipperfield-designed glass building, with strong holdings in Haitian, Mexican and American art and rotating exhibitions. Plan a couple of hours.
  • The Putnam Museum and Science Center, on East Locust Street, with strong galleries on natural history, world cultures, an IMAX theatre and rotating science exhibitions.
  • The German American Heritage Center, in the restored 1862 Standard Hotel on West 2nd Street, with strong galleries on the German immigration to the Quad Cities and the wider Mississippi Valley.
  • The LeClaire Park and Mississippi waterfront promenade, the long park strip running east from the central downtown along the river, with views across to the Illinois bank, summer concerts at the LeClaire bandshell and the launching point for the Bix 7 race.
  • The Bix Beiderbecke Memorial Jazz Festival, the late-July festival honouring the Davenport-born cornetist Bix Beiderbecke (1903-1931), with concerts in LeClaire Park and venues across the central downtown.
  • The Bix 7 road race, the late-July seven-mile road race that runs through downtown Davenport and up Brady Street — a regional running event that draws thousands.
  • The Village of East Davenport, the historic neighbourhood east of downtown with restored 19th-century commercial buildings, restaurants, shops and the long-running Lagomarcino's Confectionery (the original 1908 ice cream parlour and chocolate shop).
  • The Centennial Bridge, the 1940 cantilever truss bridge across the Mississippi to Rock Island, with pedestrian access and good views down the river.
  • Modern Woodmen Park, the home of the Quad Cities River Bandits High-A baseball team on the central Mississippi waterfront, with views of the river and the Centennial Bridge from the bleachers.
  • The Adler Theatre, the restored 1931 Art Deco theatre downtown, with a year-round programme of touring concerts, ballet and the Quad Cities Symphony Orchestra.
  • The Quad City Botanical Center, across the river in Rock Island, with a tropical conservatory and outdoor gardens.
  • The John Deere Pavilion in Moline, an interactive showcase of working farm equipment from the John Deere company, headquartered across the river. Free entry and unexpectedly good for a half-day visit.
  • The Rock Island Arsenal, on the island in the middle of the Mississippi between Davenport and Rock Island, with Arsenal Island Park, the Confederate cemetery and the Rock Island Arsenal Museum.
  • The Vander Veer Botanical Park, the central Davenport park with a rose garden, conservatory and walking paths.

Best time to visit Davenport

Late spring through early autumn is the long, generous window. From late April into June the Mississippi waterfront opens up, the LeClaire Park bandshell fills with summer concerts and the temperature sits in a pleasant range for walking the central blocks. The headline late-July event is the Bix Beiderbecke Memorial Jazz Festival, which fills the city with jazz musicians and audiences for several days, plus the same-weekend Bix 7 road race.

July and August are warm and humid — afternoons regularly in the 80s and into the 90s — but the Mississippi River breeze keeps the worst of the heat at bay along the waterfront. Plan walking and outdoor sightseeing for early morning, lean into the air-conditioned Figge and Putnam museums in the afternoon, and respect the late-day thunderstorms when they roll in.

September and October bring the upper Mississippi fall — colour through the river bluffs, comfortable walking weather and the harvest of the surrounding Iowa farmland. This is the connoisseur's window for Davenport.

Winter is real Iowa cold. From December through February temperatures regularly drop into the 20s and below, with serious cold snaps and occasional snow events. The river can ice over in the harshest spans, and the Mississippi takes on a quieter character in winter — barge traffic continues until the river is fully frozen, then resumes when it thaws. The Figge, the Putnam, the Adler Theatre and the long-running restaurant scene in the Village of East Davenport all stay full pace, and a quiet weekday afternoon at the Figge with snow falling on the river outside is a particular Davenport pleasure. Spring is variable but bright; April brings the river back to working pace and the first wildflowers along the Mississippi River Trail.

Late July is Davenport at its loudest — the Bix Beiderbecke Memorial Jazz Festival fills LeClaire Park and the central blocks with cornet and trumpet for a long weekend, the Bix 7 road race brings runners up Brady Street through the heat, and the Mississippi runs slow and warm below the Centennial Bridge. The opposite end of the year is just as Davenport: a January gallery afternoon at the Figge with snow piled on the riverwalk and the river running between snow-shouldered banks below.
