Visiting Raleigh

Raleigh, the capital city of North Carolina, is known for its natural beauty, its relationship to Research Triangle Park and its universities and colleges. Visitors to the city will enjoy the museums in Raleigh’s downtown area, including the Museum of Natural Sciences and the Museum of History. Art lovers shouldn’t miss the North Carolina Museum of Art—just a mile from Dorton Arena. On Saturdays and Sundays many of the locals like to peruse the large flea market held at the fairgrounds.

You never know what you may find. Raleigh has no shortage of shopping, from the eclectic boutiques of Cameron Village, to the largest indoor mall in the area—Crabtree Valley Mall. In the evening, head downtown and see how this area is enjoying a revitalization that has added energy, music and food to districts such as Fayetteville Street, City Market and Glenwood South—to name a few.
