Surrounded by a natural landscape that has been touted as “The Most Beautiful Place in America,” there is a reason why Traverse City and the surrounding region is enjoyed by visitors and residents. The City is nestled at the base of Old Mission Peninsula and flanked by both East and West Grand Traverse Bays. The Boardman River meanders throughout the City and downtown, where over 200 locally owned businesses reside, more than 50 restaurants, and one of the largest Farmer's Markets in the state.

Health and wellness are a focus within the Grand Traverse Region. A number of trails for biking or walking are located throughout the City and travel to neighboring Leelanau County. Enjoying parks and recreation is a favorite pastime of residents.

Cultural amenities such as the historic City Opera House, Dennos Museum Center, and Crooked Tree Arts Center provide access to entertainment and the arts. Special events such as the National Cherry Festival celebrate the region’s agricultural amenities, The National Writer’s Series host world-renowned authors annually, and the Traverse City Film Festival celebrate the medium of film and filmmaking.

Traverse City is home to Northwestern Michigan Community College. The Traverse City Area Public School’s two high schools have both been named Top 100 High Schools for a number of years, and just down the road is the internationally acclaimed Interlochen Center for the Arts.

What’s the best thing to do in Traverse City? Play tourist, of course, and enjoy all the unique offerings of a big city in a small northern setting.
