Welcome to Traverse Traveler

Millions of visitors each year are drawn to Traverse City, Michigan for the beauty of its natural resources, and the unique character of the surrounding communities.

The Traverse Traveler iPhone app is a handy mobile guide for the Traverse area visitor designed to promote local restaurants, wineries, attractions, shopping, events, services and more.

Detroit Free Press calls Traverse Traveler a “Cool Travel Web Site with detailed advice from TC locals, not some far away app creator.”

Features include:

• Listings are ordered by proximity to the iPhone user. So if you’re in Leelanau county, the listings for that area come up first. This is helpful for finding a hotel or the nearest restaurant.
• Maps & directions make it easy to navigate from one location to the next. Great for planning a wine tour or discovering that off-the-beaten-path restaurant.
• Social sharing from the app means you can post to Facebook or Twitter, or email info to your friends without leaving the app.
• Events by date let you know what’s going on while you’re in town. One-touch calling or web links and you’ll have tickets in a flash.
• Near Me feature pinpoints the 25 listings closest to you, from within all categories. See exactly how close your hotel is to the golf course for that 7am tee time.
• Directory listings include photos and descriptions of the business so you know what to expect, including hours, admission price and seasonal schedules.
