Small, not that much to do
In a nutshell
Great weather - great Southern hospitality
Radiomom Says: One of the reasons we moved here! I have been a costumer for the wonderful Durham Savoyards, who put on a Gilbert and Sullivan operetta every March at the historic Carolina Theater in downtown Durham. This year we'll do "Iolanthe" from March 29-April 1, 2012
etfromnc Says: The Nasher Museum of Art at Duke University fosters the understanding and appreciation of the visual arts by providing direct experiences with original works of art supported by a range of exhibitions, programs, and publications for the university and the broader community....
etfromnc Says: From my admittedly prejudiced point of view, Duke University has uncounted attractions and reasons to visit, even spend four years or more. One of the most under-rated of those reasons is the Duke University Lemur Center (originally known as the DU Primate Center but renamed...
Washington Duke Inn and Golf Club
1 Review and 229 Opinions The hotel and grounds are absolutely beautiful and the service is best described as "old school...
1 Review and 16 Opinions The hotel staff are very gracious. Lana/front desk manager remembered me from my trip 3 months ago...
Foster's Market: If it's good enough for Martha Stewart...
rudysmom626 Says: Foster's Market is really difficult to describe - it's like a idyllic Whole Foods where you want to hang out. While it is a restaurant, it is also a market, with both sundries like designer pasta and jams, but also a huge display case with fresh salads and foods available to...
Piazza Italia: A great Italian Restaurant
gordonilla Says: This was a restauranat a group of colleagues and I visited during a recent visit to the area. It was an enjoyable place to eat. The food was good and the atmosphere was excellent - we dined at the start of the week so it was a little quiet. Excellent Ice Cream - eat in or...
Chapel Hill, NC: Head to Chapel Hill
ATXtraveler Says: Overwhelmingly, every single person I spoke to that is familiar with this area, all said that going out in Durham is a waste of time. Close to Durham is the town of Chapel Hill, NC which is the home to the University of North Carolina. I did not heed their warning, and...
Mellow Mushroom: Tobacco District Pizza Restaurant
savvygirl Says: The Mellow Mushroom is a popular pizza joint that comes highly recommended by Duke University Students. The atmosphere is jovial and sports focused; the food is good and the service is casual and friendly. The location, for Durham, is pretty great! Outside seating overlooks...
ATXtraveler Says: One of the less economical ways of getting around Durham would have to be by surfboard. This tends to be a popular method, judged by the thousands of fans cheering this mode of transportation. I can not imagine it is very economical, as it requires 10-15 college band members...
Raleigh Durham International Airport (RDU)
ATXtraveler Says: Flights into Raleigh Durham seem to be very easy to come by. As this is an international hub for several airlines like American, the places you can get to from Raleigh are staggering. The airport itself was conveniently placed directly in between Raleigh and Durham, and I...
The Streets at Southpoint and Main Street: A shopping Mall in Durham, NC
gordonilla Says: This was one of the malls I visited during some trips to North Carolina's Triangle area. This was a visit made one evening after a bit of a long day in meetings.There was a group of us from work in attendance, and we all split up to shop. The only purchases I made from here,...
The Streets at Southpoint: Enormous New Mall
TimDaoust Says: Located in the southern part of Durham just off of I-40, this mall was built only a few years ago but it's quite easily the biggest in the area now. There is a big outdoor as well as an indoor section. The outdoor part has some nice ambience (speakers in the bushes, benches,...
ATXtraveler Says: Part of the reason that Cameron Indoor Arena holds so much mystique for college basketball fans is around the difficulty surrounding getting a ticket. With enough students to fill the entire arena alone, Duke University has put in place measures which limit the number of...
acemj Says: Durham is home to the Duke University Basketball program, one of the best in the country and if you're here, you better pick your team. You see, Durham is one corner of what's known as the Research Triangle. Duke in Durham, UNC-Chapel Hill in Chapel Hill and NC State in...
ukexpats69 Says: There are certain times of the year when the local gangs are "initiating" new members.I found this out,luckily not 1st hand, but through people I worked with at the local hospital.What these "want to be" gang members do,is drive around in the dark/dusk with no headlights...
TimDaoust Says: There is a high crime rate in Durham, maybe not as high as some other American cities but recently, and with the help of the media, it has become an image problem for the city of Durham. Though there is some truth to the rumor of high crime here, dont' be afraid to go out...
jmpncsu Says: Penny's Bend Nature Preserve is an 84-acre preserve in northeast Durham. The bend is a horseshoe-shaped curve in the Eno River just upstream of where it flows into Falls Lake. The land is owned by the US Army Corps of Engineers and managed by the NC Botanical Gardens....
Treyburn Country Club & Golf Club
savvygirl Says: Treyburn country club is a upscale country club located 24 miles outside of Durham, NC inside a gated and meticulous residential community. It has a great swimming pool, tennis courts facility and walking paths throughout the course. The Golf Course was designed by Tom...
etfromnc Says: If you want to see a Duke basketball game – and I know you really, really do – then you have to promise to go to some Blue Devils football games. That’s part of the school’s football ticket sales plan. Yeah, it’s a bummer, right? Duke hasn’t made a bowl game or had a winning...
etfromnc Says: Although I very dearly love Duke University and love to sing her praises to anyone who will listen to, or read, it, I am becoming very discouraged by working on tips or pages up to an hour only to have my ISPs (and I have used several) or the VT server delete or refuse my...
Helpfulness
Favorite thing: Durham has historically been a tobacco town and is now most well-known for its university, but you'll also find some other attractions in the city. For more information, try the following website:

Durham - Home of Duke Basketball
Unfortunately, I did not get to stay as long as I would have liked in this beautiful part of America. I did however get the opportunity to do one of my own personal "1000 things to do before I die",...
I stayed a week at Duke University spending most of my free time just wandering around campus. I was amazed at how beautiful it was.
Durham is nice! Even nicer when filled with VT'rs!
For the heck of it, a few VT'rs in the N.C. area (plus one Northerner - From Herndon, VA) decided to get together for a nice leisurely lunch in Durham. About 11 showed up and we had a great time. Good...
