A busy modern metropolis and transportation hub, the state capital doesn’t overwhelm with style, though it makes up for it with lots of amenities and nightlife. Most travelers pass through either the shiny new airport or bus station on the way to somewhere else, but it’s a comfortable, worthwhile and warm place to spend a day or two.
