local attractions

Area points of interest

Local attractions are points of interest that draw visitors to a particular area—museums, landmarks, natural features, restaurants, or entertainment venues.

The phrase appears constantly in tourism contexts: The hotel concierge recommended several local attractions.

What counts as an attraction depends on the visitor; for some it's historic sites, for others it's the best taco stand in town.
