We get it � when you have friends or family come visit you here in Winston-Salem, you want to make sure they get a great taste of the Camel City. The good news is there�s plenty to choose from, so no matter what your guests are into you�ll be able to create a sure-to-please agenda. Plus, one of the benefits of living in a smaller city is you won�t be stuck in your car forever as you take your guests around town. (All of us residents already understand that, of course, but if your guests come from a bigger city they�ll probably be thrilled by the lack of traffic and drive times needed to get around Winston.)
Here are some of our favorite places to take your out-of-town guests to really make Winston-Salem shine, grouped by category:
