Raleigh is the capital of North Carolina, one of the original 13 colonies, and one of the three cities that make up an area known as The Triangle. Surrounded by lush green trees, The Triangle is home to the ever-growing Research Triangle Park, which consists of around 150 businesses and covers over 7000 acres. The other triangle cities are Chapel Hill, home of the University of North Carolina Tarheels, and Durham, home of the Duke University Blue Devils, two college basketball teams with some of the fiercest rivalry the ACC has ever witnessed. And the football is not bad either. Between those two schools and Raleigh’s own North Carolina State University, there’s never a lack for nightlife or live entertainment around town, especially on weekends or game days. Culture and history buffs will want to visit the North Carolina State Capitol, the North Carolina Museum of Art, the North Carolina Executive Mansion, and the North Carolina Museum of History. To sample the great outdoors, visitors can try Oakview Historic County Park, Pullen Park, or the J.C. Raulston Arboretum. And for more recreation, true outdoor lovers can immerse themselves in boating, fishing, and other water activities in beautiful Jordan Lake State Recreation Area. For family fun, the R.B.C. Arena, located on the vast state fairgrounds, is a great place to see the latest events. And for kids, downtown’s Playspace Children’s Museum is truly a place of wonder, learning, discovery, and amazement. And if that’s not enough to get you started, Raleigh’s central location in the piedmont area of the state gives visitors and locals alike easy highway access to the state’s gorgeous golden beaches to the East and pristine, green mountains to the West. So visit Raleigh, North Carolina, and find out what Southern charm is all about.
