Welcome to NC Tripping, our site dedicated to North Carolina travel! Here, you’ll find a collection of more than 400+ travel guides, including the best things to do in NC.
We’ve been exploring the state’s 100 counties for years and learned early on that there are almost countless spots to cover. That includes all of our bustling cities and especially, the amazing small towns scattered throughout.
Some of the most popular attractions include Biltmore Estate in Asheville, the massive NC Zoo in Asheboro, and that long stretch of beach known as the Outer Banks. Our guides don’t stop here, as we have you covered from the mountains to the sea.
We’ve featured many of these places in our Bucket List Book. You can also shop for it and many more NC-themed products in our Shop!
If you’re a visual person, our North Carolina Travel map is a great tool for mapping trips and finding places near your home or wherever you’re staying in NC.
Along with the best statewide attractions, our guides detail where to go from:
- The mountains of Western North Carolina.
- To the coast of Eastern North Carolina.
- Throughout Central North Carolina, and all in between.
We also keep things local and share our favorite businesses that you should visit and support.

Things to Do in North Carolina (Our Bucket List)
