While the 'City Of Roots' has been historically a grossly underrated destination, it's quickly becoming a must-visit city in the United States. Raleigh is steeped in history, but it's also known for its youthful energy and eclectic community. It's also a city well-known for dishing out some of the best BBQ in the nation, but its culinary chops aren't exclusively limited to smoked meats. Raleigh is also home to numerous world-class restaurants and boasts a vibrant and lively nightlife.

Raleigh is also a very affordable place to visit or live. And even though Raleigh isn't known for being that big of a tourist destination, that doesn't mean that there aren't plenty of interesting and entertaining things to do and sights to see there. We'll cover 13 of these attractions in this video.

As a native from raleigh nc this video made me proud to be from NC and also showing my other half who is from California places in NC to see and visit since she asked me to move to California seeing videos is my way to remind me of my old hometown 😀

The best thing I ever did while living in Raleigh was move out of state. Life is so much better now. Honest people, good cultural values are hard to fake. Raleigh was a major dud when it came to moral values.

Richmond is a lot more Southern than Raleigh, imo .

Nice coverage but you must include the Hindus place of worship … the Sri Venkateshwara Temple as a must visit place .. Hindus from all over the world would be happy to visit this place . Thanks

Don't go or live in Raleigh. Just go or live in some parts of NC like CLT or Greensboro.

These videos is 3 yrs old and literally there ain’t nothing to do here but drink 😂😂 go to food trucks, drive 2 hours to the beach, and go bowling. The only thing Nc is really good for is cheap housing
