Atlas Obscura’s Escape Plan

Are you a city dweller looking for a route to adventure this summer? Atlas Obscura and Zipcar have partnered up to bring you inspired day trips...and the perfect excuse to skip town. From Bannerman Castle outside NYC to the Bay Area's Burlingame Museum of Pez Memorabilia, we guarantee there’s something around the corner (or at least within a 90-mile radius) that will surprise and delight even the most devoted urbanite.

It works like this: Atlas Obscura gives you awesome, unexpected locations. Zipcar gives you access to cars in your neighborhood that you can drive when you need them, and forget about when you don’t. See you on the road!
