Boise

The city of Boise is the capital of the enigmatic state of Idaho and markets itself as a natural haven and welcoming urban retreat. Home to the only human rights memorial in the United States- the Anne Frank Memorial- the city of Boise is known for its sparse highrise buildings, stunning fall foliage and a treasure trove of small businesses, cafes and outdoor recreational activities. 

Tourists to Idaho visit the state primarily for its environmental wonders and hidden trails amongst rich biodiversity and the city of Boise doesn't fail to deliver in this aspect. The city features the 25 miles long Boise River Greenbelt and the Kathryn Albertson and Julia Davis Parks, the former of which features rich wetland while the latter, accessible by the Greenbelt is home to some of Boise's most iconic museums.

Tourists can stroll through lush green fields, lagoons and rose gardens and explore museums like the Idaho Historical Museum, Discovery Center of Idaho and the Idaho Black History Museum. True outdoor enthusiasts can visit the Bogus Basin Mountain Recreation Area, a skiing area that is full of several trails and hiking enclosures.

Visitors are also provided with an up-close look at Idaho's rich wildlife on state grounds as well with attractions like the Aquarium of Boise, Zoo Boise and the World Center for Birds of Prey, all dedicated to the preservation of the magnificent animals and birds. Boise holds several more tricks up its sleeve in terms of its downtown and metropolitan attractions.

A stroll down Downtown Boise reveals several quaint coffee shops and cafes enveloped by irresistible smells of the state famous Great Harvest Bread and fries. Tourists can indulge in the weekly Boise Farmers Market, which samples fried food to produce and everything in between. 

Whether you choose to visit this city for its autumn foliage or snow-capped skiing basins, the city of Boise will both surprise and delight you- it has something for everyone.
