More About Raleigh
Why not travel to:
Raleigh is proof that the South will rise again. First, it's a smart city. A handful of colleges and universities are spread out on campuses throughout the Greater Raleigh area. And Raleigh is also part of the Research Triangle, a geographical area that includes Durham and Chapel Hill, and a region that's filled with tech jobs and techie people.
Second, it's a cool city. A growing city of about half a million residents, the Greater Raleigh area welcomed more than 13 million visitors in 2013. And it's not too surprising why: Raleigh is flooding with entrepreneurial spirit. You'll see it in the numerous craft breweries that speckle this city in central North Carolina and you'll also find it in the explosion of new restaurants and shops downtown or in the trendy Warehouse district.
Third, it's an aesthetically pleasing city. Along with the cosmopolitan charms of cool coffee shops and independent businesses, Raleigh contains natural splendor. For proof, visitors should look to the lush landscape of the Neuse River Trail or the wooded beauty of Umstead State Park or any of the green spaces that the city has worked hard to protect.
But don't take our word for it — go see for yourself.
