What’s The Best Way To Explore A New City?

What’s the best way to explore a new city?

So in my humble opinion you have not seen or experienced a city unless you have been to the dive bars. Tie this in with the small music venues and you not only get to enjoy surprisingly amazing music but also get to know the locals.

Making friends is the best way to explore a city, you get personal guides, cheaper food and in general an insight into the vibe of the place. So yes as usual I am linking my answer back to the music , and the thing we review over at foxreviewsrock.com!

I’d love to know though how do you explore a new city?

    There really is no better shortcut to getting the true vibe of a place than seeing what the local music scene is like.

    Take a day and just walk around. Stop where ever your fancy takes you. My daughters and I did this during COVID.

      Sounds like a wonderful way to see a city and to be honest the world!

    Definitely the local music scene, as well as the non-tourist bars and restaurants. Oh, and the art district!

    I agree 100% with this, and I do travel probably more than most.

    I love the concept of a dive bar just to get the feel of a city.

    I’m a long distance runner and I love to explore the city but just going out there and getting Lost, and noting where the dive bar sit

    When I’m visiting a new city or town, I like getting lost. Driving or walking down random streets, finding the hidden eateries and tiny, local stores that only the locals shop at. Then, check out the artsy side of town.

        You’ve got that right! There are a couple of areas that I got lost in that were a bit scary — like Deliverance scary.

    Live music venues sound good to me.

    You gotta start downtown. If it looks a little bit sketchy you’re on the right track. From here you’ll find dive bars, music venues, greasy spoons that bypass tourist spots and take you to the hidden gems of the city.
