Winston-Salem, North Carolina is a city rich in history, culture, and beauty. This post is written in partnership with Visit Winston-Salem. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
We hit the road for a 9-hour road trip from Orlando to Winston-Salem. With no kids in tow, we were beyond excited for our weekend away. We had a full itinerary planned packed with museum tours, historical sites and some of the best restaurants in the city. Honestly we were in for a huge surprise upon arrival. This charming city has a rich history, a thriving arts scene, and plenty of outdoor activities to keep you busy.
Start your weekend by exploring downtown Winston-Salem. We were scheduled to take an e-bike tour of the downtown area.
This was my first time back on a bike since surgery and my balance was super unstable. Our guide was very understanding and provided an alternative for us. Instead of the e-bike tour, we took a private trolley tour. This was a really special experience since trolley tours typically require 4 or more guests. The trolley tour was the perfect preview of what our weekend would hold. I loved getting to see the different neighborhoods. Triad Eco Adventures offers a few different tour options.
After our trolley tour we went back to our hotel room to change for dinner. The dinner options in Winston-Salem are endless. For dinner we tried the delicious Southern-inspired food at Sweet Potatoes. Everything from the appetizers to desserts were amazing. They are well known for their hospitality and flavorful southern food. Everything we tasted here reminded us of home. The traditional southern favorites really hit home for us. I highly recommend making a reservation here during your trip.
