Why You Should Go...

Part of Traverse City's popularity -- in addition to its breathtaking natural surroundings -- is its charm. It's no wonder Traverse City is consistently voted as one of America's most charming small towns.

So, during your stay here, make yourself at home! Spend an afternoon strolling through our quiet, tree-lined neighborhoods. Visit some of our beautifully restored historic buildings, or learn a bit about our all-important cherry industry.

We've also compiled practical information on area transportation, accessibility, health care, public safety, and places of worship.

And, of course, we always invite our visitors to stop in to see us at our lovely Visitor Center, located on the corner of Union Street and the Grandview Parkway -- right across from West Grand Traverse Bay! One of our friendly volunteers will be happy to provide you with a map, Visitor Guide, directions, or just tips on where you can get a great meal.

Enjoy your stay!
