There’s so much to experience and explore throughout Independence that it can be tough to decide where to start! We’ve taken the guesswork out of your trip planning and compiled themed itineraries that will guide you with recommendations, travel tips and more. Consider Visit Independence your personal concierge!
What brings you to Independence? We’ve built itineraries for some of the most popular travel reasons, including:
- History deep dive, including self-guided tours and all things Harry S. Truman.
- Family-friendly escape filled with fun and recreation in the heart of the Kansas City area.
- Foodie adventure, complete with ordering recommendations and how to bring local food and drink home with you.
- First time to the city? We make sure you don’t miss a major highlight!
- Ladies’ weekend, a restorative getaway filled with sips, shopping and sightseeing.
These itineraries are fairly ambitious, so don’t worry if you can’t get to everything during your stay. That just means you have even more reasons to schedule a return trip! That said, these itineraries are also meant to serve as starting points, rather than exhaustive lists. If you add a few stops and create a custom itinerary, we want to hear about it! Tag us on social media at @VisitIndependence and use hashtag #VisitIndependence so we can follow the fun.
