Not only is this city home to Krispy Kreme Doughnuts and Texas Pete, but it’s also full of rich history and delicious food. Start your journey by visiting Old Salem, a living history museum that offers tons of family-friendly activities and learning opportunities. Afterwards, art and history buffs will love exploring the Reynolda House Museum of American Art, MESDA, Piedmont Opera, Milton Rhodes Art Center, and SECCA and local galleries in the Arts District.

Now comes the fun part – food! Winston-Salem has an incredible culinary scene, offering everything from Mexican to Asian Fusion to BBQ and Hotdogs. And don’t forget about the bars and breweries, like Foothills and Village Square Tap House. Sample delicious desserts like Moravian Sugar Cake from Winkler’s Bakery in Old Salem. Or try the famous thin Moravian sugar cookies from Dewey’s Bakery (pro tip: get a free cake square on Mondays!). Some of our favorite restaurants include Camel City BBQ Factory, Slappy’s Chicken, Señor Bravos, and Camino Bakery. For even more foodie inspiration, check out Go-To Winston-Salem.

After all that eating, it’s time to get active. Watch the Winston-Salem Dash play at Truist Stadium or go shopping at Reynolda Village and Thruway Shopping Center. Take your kids on a memorable adventure at Kaleideum Downtown, ARTivity on the Green, North Kaleideum, or Winston Waterworks. And for all those outdoor enthusiasts out there, we have 25 miles of greenways and trails to explore. Come visit Village Inn and have some urban adventures during the day while enjoying a small town to rest your head at night!
