Hot Springs, Arkansas, USA

Hot Springs gets its name form the natural thermal springs that have attracted visitors since the early 19th century. It became a grand spa after the railroad arrived in 1875. Hot mineral springs were believed to have healing powers. Several elegant bathhouses remain on Bathhouse Row. One of these still offers hot mineral baths.

The charm of Hot Springs can still be found in the history, architecture, shops, and lush landscape. Walk the Grand Promenade, or climb a trail up Hot Springs Mountain to an observation deck.
