Raleigh Highlights
- If you are a sports fan or curious for a taste of American life then the best place to head to would be to the RBC Centre which is the home of the Carolina Hurricanes, the NHL Hockey team of the state. The centre has a phenomenal atmosphere and there’s nothing like the excitement of an ice hockey game, one of America’s most popular sports.
- Lake Johnson Nature Park is situated just outside the city and is home to a large number of paths and trails which are perfect for hiking and mountain biking, there are also facilities to go horse riding within the park.
- The North Carolina Museum of Art is home to a large collection of influential artworks as well as a beautiful sculpture garden.
- A trip to North Carolina would not be complete without sampling some of the local cuisine, which in this case is barbeque. This isn’t the sausage and soggy bun affair that is common in the UK. Barbeque here means smoke and fire and long slow cooking over charcoal. Head to a barbeque restaurant for a real taste of the south and you won’t be disappointed.
