Provincetown has wide range of shops and places to eat. It's a nice one day trip, but I wouldn't go out of my way to make a special stop here. There's too many other more interesting sights to see in the area. More

I went from end to end on Commercial St. and I was surprised at the wide variety. There are high-end galleries and tourist t-shirt shops. There are hot dog vendors and classy restaurants. Traditionally decorated properties and wildly colorful and strangely decorated properties. The variety doesn't end there. I saw a gay men with mohawks walking arm in arm and... More

You want people watching? You got it. You wanna shop? Whip out that wallet. You wanna walk? Stroll away the day, see the street entertainers, check out all the people who have dogs!
