Even as 2021 is turning out to be another year of uncertainty, one thing is for sure — sometimes you just need to get away. Whether you want to escape to a far off corner of the country or are looking for a weekend trip, there are plenty of places to choose from in this beautiful country.
Travel and Leisure compiled a list of the 50 best places around the country to travel in 2021. From the breathtaking beauty of Wyoming and the Alaskan Coast to the hustle and bustle of New York City and Nashville, America has no shortage of natural and manmade wonders.
So, did anywhere in North Carolina make the list? You bet!
The Triangle.
As vaccines become more widely available to the public, everyone hopes to return to normal as soon as possible. In the meantime, people continue to travel to the Raleigh, Durham, and Chapel Hill area (nicknamed the Research Triangle, or simply the Triangle) to experience the southern charm of this growing region.
Even throughout 2020, more hotels and boutiques continued to open in the Triangle, providing a great space to stay while taking advantage of the incredible restaurants and walking trails. It's a matter of time before the rest of the country discovers this hidden gem.
