How to Find Unique Things to Do in Any City

Exploring a new city or even rediscovering your own can be an adventure in itself. Here’s how you can find hidden gems and unique experiences beyond the usual tourist attractions:

  • Tap into Local Knowledge – Ask bartenders, hotel concierges, or locals for recommendations on spots that don’t always show up in travel guides.

  • Check Social Media & Travel Blogs – Platforms like Facebook groups, Reddit, and travel blogs such as Atlas Obscura highlight off-the-beaten-path experiences.

  • Look for Seasonal Events – Websites like Eventbrite and Time Out list pop-up events, festivals, and one-of-a-kind happenings in various cities.

  • Book a Local Tour or Experience – Guided experiences found on sites like Viator or GetYourGuide can help uncover a city’s history, hidden spots, and best-kept secrets.

  • Try an Interactive Adventure – Escape rooms, scavenger hunts, and immersive theater (like The Dinner Detective!) provide hands-on fun and a break from the ordinary. Check out options on Airbnb Experiences or Local Adventurer.
