visit someone or something · go to a place
Heading to a new city? You'll probably want to 'pay a visit to' all the cool spots! It’s a polite and versatile way to say you're going to visit a place or person, perfect for making plans or talking about your adventures. 🗺️✨
💡 While you can simply say 'visit', 'pay a visit to' often adds a touch more formality or a sense of purpose to your trip, making it sound a bit more intentional. It can also imply a slightly longer or more significant stop than just a quick look. It's often used when talking about landmarks, museums, or even friends and family in another town. Think of it as a respectful nod to the place or person you're going to see. 👋🏛️
