As one of the major cities that make up "The Triangle" area in North Carolina, Durham offers true Southern hospitality while boasting modern amenities. Start by visiting Duke University, to explore some of the city's top cultural attractions like the Nasher Museum of Art and Duke Chapel. You can also watch the Blue Devils play at Cameron Indoor Arena; take in the college basketball craze that sweeps across the United States during "March Madness."
As the largest commercial district in Durham, downtown is where you will see the Art Deco Hill Building and other historic landmarks in the "Black Wall Street" neighborhood. Once the core of Durham's booming tobacco industry, the American Tobacco Campus is another popular district featuring hotel and shopping opportunities. If you take a flight to "Bull City," your plane will land at Raleigh-Durham International Airport (RDU). You can use Interstate 40 and the Durham Freeway to navigate Durham by car. Your public transportation options include DATA buses and Amtrak trains.
With a subtropical climate, Durham has moderate temperatures throughout the year without any threats of snowstorms, or freezing conditions in the winter. However, you might want to dress in layers when going out in the evening to the trendy bars of Brightleaf Square. If you're interested in enjoying world-class concerts and plays, head to The Carolina Theatre or Durham Performing Arts Center.
