Things to Do Close to Me
Find things to do close to you — the highest-rated places within walking distance, ranked instantly by live location.
Things to do close to me is the search you make when you don't want a 40-minute commute to get to the fun. We default the radius to walking distance, surface the best-rated nearby spots, and let you widen out only if you want to. The result is a short list of places you can actually reach on foot — a coffee bar two streets away, the park you didn't realise was around the corner, the small gallery you'd never have found otherwise. Walk-friendly results also tend to encourage the kind of spontaneous afternoons you remember: less queueing, less Uber, more wandering.
Each suggestion includes a directions link and a short description, so you can leave the house in under a minute. If you want a deeper plan for a specific city — yours or one you're visiting — the curated guides below cover the top ten things worth doing in dozens of destinations.

Frequently asked
What's the default radius for 'close to me'?
Walking distance — roughly 1km. You can switch to transit or driving mode in the explore screen to expand the radius if nothing nearby grabs you.
Will it work in any city?
Yes, anywhere Google Places has coverage — which is essentially everywhere with internet access. Quality of suggestions tracks how densely a city is reviewed.
Why prioritise walkable spots?
Walkable spots get visited; bookmarked drives don't. The friction matters: if it takes 30 minutes to get there, you'll often skip it. Close-by suggestions actually convert into outings.
Can I save places for later?
Not yet — the experience is built for in-the-moment discovery. Your browser history will hold onto what you've already seen, and you can always re-search later.
