Expect humid subtropical weather, walkable brick streets, and a lively arts-and-theater scene at Thalian Hall and the Wilson Center, plus big outdoor shows at Live Oak Bank Pavilion and Greenfield Lake Amphitheater. The Riverwalk, Battleship North Carolina, the Cotton Exchange, and Chandler’s Wharf anchor weekend strolls, with coffee at Bespoke or Drift, boutiques, local gyms and yoga studios, and a Riverfront Farmers’ Market.
