Greater Raleigh Convention and Visitors Bureau
About
The Greater Raleigh Convention and Visitors Bureau, which goes by Visit Raleigh, is the tourism office for the city and the county around it. It works from Fayetteville Street downtown, and the job is helping visitors find restaurants, museums, live music, parks, shops, hotels and events.
The website reads like a guide written by people who live here. Articles cover the oldest restaurants in town and the kitchens that have won awards, and the events listing runs through the year for anyone planning a weekend or a longer stay.
