Provincetown is small coastal city located at the tip of Cape Cod, on a stretch of sand surrounded on all sides by water. It is a popular tourist destination, described as a fun blend of New York Greenwich Village and Florida’s Key West.
The town’s quirkiness has been attracting artists, authors, and nature lovers since Charles Hawthorne opened the School of Art in 1899, bringing with him names such as Eugene O’Neill and later Ella Fitzgerald, Marlon Brando, and Richard Gere. The heart of the city is Commercial Street, with its diverse restaurants, charming hotels, and boutiques.
Provincetown goes live in the summer, with its hip bars and artistic vibe. A city of fun today, Provincetown is anchored in the American history. It was in Provincetown that the Mayflower first threw its anchor.
