Hey there!
Sharing a quick day trip to Durham from last weekend Jon and I did. One of my favorite places to visit close to home and is only a 30 minute drive away! Durham is very much up and coming as Raleigh is and has so much to offer to see and do around the area.
One of my favorite places to visit is the historic tobacco campus that is located right next to the ballpark. Here you can see the water tower and there are many restaurants you can sit outside to listen to the waterfalls. It is a nice area to stroll around and take pictures. (I’ve taken so many here. Hehe.) Side note: If you go on top of the underground parking garage you can see the entire area! (It looks really cool lit up at night with the bull sign.)
Durham offers a lot of great wall art to see. It is SO fun to notice new wall murals popping up all over the city whenever I visit. My favorite is the art all over the underground parking garage at the Unscripted hotel. However, If you like the outdoors you can also go to the Sarah P. gardens by the Duke campus to see beatutiful themed gardens. I like the Japanese garden with the red bridge!
There are also many places to grab a drink after dinner. I recommend 21c, the Durham Hotel (best rooftop) and the Unscripted Hotel. Not only does the Unscripted have wall art, but the decor is pretty to look at with it’s mid-century mod look. I LOVE this place! The bar on the rooftop is open to the public and there you can grab a drink and enjoy the pool while looking at the Durham skyline.
21c also has a art museum you can tour and a underground vault! A great place to sit and enjoy a cocktail. 🖤 - LOVE!
