Winston-Salem Travel and Things to Do Guide

Steeped in historical charm, our sophisticated southern city was founded by the Moravians over 250 years ago. These early settlers’ craftsmanship, innovation, and entrepreneurial spirit laid the foundation for other industries including textiles, tobacco, and the first arts council in the country. Today, we have transitioned to biomedical research and regenerative medicine, but remain the home of Hanesbrands, Texas Pete Hot Sauce, and six colleges and universities.

Winston-Salem offers an authentic package of history, arts, culinary, and culture along with our nationally recognized downtown full of dining, entertainment, and shopping options. Our community will provide warm hospitality, as you experience the over $2 billion reinvention that has transformed downtown Winston-Salem into a Forbes.com “Top Downtown” while remaining true to our rich history.
