Discover Durham Visitor Guide

Our official Visitor Guide to Durham is a resource for planning and exploration while you're here.

Perhaps you’ve heard about Durham’s celebrated food scene, top-notch universities, or startup culture. Maybe you already know that we transcend category — and you’re coming back home. There’s something about this place: something intangible, but absolutely alluring. We are that and more.

With this guide, you can get to know the hidden gems in the neighborhood around you or get out and explore a new area with our eight district guides. Use our nine itineraries to plan the perfect Durham visit for the foodie, the sports fan, the history buff, multi-generational families and more. And along the way, you'll be introduced to hundreds of locally-owned businesses and attractions that are the heartbeat of the city.

Durham is an experience to behold. With our Visitor Guide, we invite you to dive in.
