The state that has it all

North Carolina is an exciting destination thanks to the diversity of climates, landscapes, and activities it offers. This is why tourism is available throughout the seasons. On a broad scale, the state is divided into three main regions: the piedmont, located in the central region; the mountainous area, located in the west side; and the coastal area, located in the east. Each offers unique attractions and activities to please every type of traveller. The central region is where the largest cities are located and where the urban scene is concentrated. The mountainous region is known for the Blue Ridge and Smoky Mountains and many other natural attractions such as waterfalls and rivers. Finally, the coastal area is home to beautiful beaches, barrier islands and seaside towns.

A city for every taste

Of course, each of the regions has cities that stand out and whose activities are diverse and exciting. If you're a traveller looking for a big city vibe, you can head to cities like Charlotte, Raleigh or Greensboro, whose timelessly vibrant atmosphere is perfect for those who like to sample the experiences of modern life. If you want something more unique, Asheville is a must. Its quirky, artsy charm is perfect for those who want to try something different. As for the coast, the Outer Banks offer an atmosphere that's as relaxing as it is fun, with spectacular islands perfect for sunbathing as well as a variety of water sports.

Top 5 travel tips in North Carolina

1. Have a close encounter with wild horses

North Carolina has a varied range of wildlife, and horses are certainly one of its most majestic species. The guys at Corolla Outback Adventures on the Outer Banks offer a wonderful tour in a four-wheel drive vehicle designed to get the best views. A friendly and knowledgeable guide will take you around the area while telling you about its history, as well as the horses and their lifestyle. Due to the wind, it can get a little chilly, so it's a good idea to bring a jacket.

2. Hike the Blue Ridge Mountains

The Blue Ridge Mountains are one of the area's most prized natural gems, so a good hike is a must if you're in the area. Enjoy a guided tour by NCLINE Adventures with licensed and experienced locals. This activity is perfect if you are travelling with friends or family, as it is designed to be done in small groups. You will get to know the flora and fauna of the place, as well as the little hidden gems that few people know about.

3. Go scuba diving & snorkeling

The Crystal Coast is perfect for a bit of underwater fun. Due to the large number of ships and wrecks, this place is a hot spot for diving enthusiasts. In fact, the North Carolina coast is known as the "Graveyard of the Atlantic" because of the more than 2000 vessels that lie just off the coast. On the other hand, you can swim with an abundance of marine life, so the conditions here are truly unique.

4. Try local craft beer

Beer brewing is an important part of the local scene in North Carolina. Each year, the number of breweries increases and with it the quality of the beers. The good thing about this being part of the state’s culture is that there’s no need to make an excuse to have a pint. While there are too many options to choose from, some of the most popular breweries, according to connoisseurs, include Wooden Robot Brewery in Charlotte, Boojum Brewing in Waynesville and Raleigh Beer Garden, just to name a few. No matter where you're staying, be sure that there is a great place near you to try local beer.

5. Take a tour around Charlotte

Charlotte, or, as the locals call.it, the Queen City, is one of NC’s most important cities. At Queen City Rides you can book a tour that will take you around the most remarkable parts of the city in a top-quality golf car. You'll get to see places like the NASCAR Hall of Fame, the Spectrum Stadium and the different districts that make up the city.
