small

nightlife

This city offers a blend of small-town charm with big-city amenities. It's not densely populated outside of the downtown area, giving it a more relaxed atmosphere. There is a strong sense of community, with residents noted for being welcoming and friendly, including to visitors and newcomers from diverse backgrounds. Local businesses and restaurants are a highlight, offering quality food and unique experiences. The outdoor scene is another strong point, with plenty of options for nature lovers and those who prefer active lifestyles.

However, those looking for an energetic nightlife may find the city underwhelming in that aspect. While there are options for dining and socializing, late-night entertainment is limited. Overall, the city is ideal for people who appreciate a slower pace, enjoy being outdoors, and value a friendly local culture more than an active nightlife scene.

AI-generated summary of reviews

Great place if you like to connect with nature and prefer to live in a small city. People are very nice, I felt very welcomed as a latino and intertwined a lot with locals. Good restaurants. Nightlife is lame.

Big city with a small town feel. Quite spread out, not a very dense population, besides downtown. Lots of military presence. Tons of great places to eat/drink/get coffee, and countless amazing small businesses. Lots to do outdoors, not as much nightlife. Residents are generally very hardworking and friendly. It's a great place to visit, especially if you have time for some of the more "hidden" attractions. The tourist traps are great too, but there's much more to the city if you know where to look.

Values shown are estimated visits by traveling remote workers based on the total amount of trips logged by Nomads.com members. Visits to a place are only counted once per year per user, even if they visit more in that year. Visits are also normalized by overall trips added per month on the site, so if site usage goes up or down it does not affect trends. Not all digital nomads are on Nomads.com, and not all Nomads.com members log their trips. So the data is only indicative.

The chart below shows visitors by nationality normalized for population size. This means we take all trips logged on Nomads.com, check which country of origin the user is from, then divide that total visit count by the country of origin's population. If we didn't, it'd just show the big countries like US, Brazil and India always on top. Instead, this shows which nationalities worldwide proportionally visit more or less, which is more useful.
