Whether you’re just driving through the Quad Cities on a trip across I-80 or you have a longer stay in mind, act like a local with these tips.

Fun fact: Although it’s called the “Quad Cities,” there are more than four towns in this region. But which are the main four? That can get... contentious. The oldest original “Tri Cities” were Davenport, Moline, and Rock Island. Later came East Moline, but then Bettendorf overtook it in size. People tried calling it the “Quint Cities” at one point, but it never caught on (even though the website still lists all five).

Why go?
