Downtown Wilmington

Downtown Wilmington charms visitors with its historic riverfront magic and timeless character. Stroll the mile-long Riverwalk where seagulls call and riverboats drift past antebellum mansions and Victorian storefronts. The gorgeous Thalian Hall anchors a district where gas-lit streetlamps illuminate cobblestone streets and centuries-old architecture. Southern cuisine rules the food scene with farm-to-table restaurants and waterfront seafood joints keeping hunger at bay. Boutique hotels and B&Bs housed in converted mansions offer cozy spots to crash after exploring the compact, walkable grid or catching a show at the Wilson Center.

Riverfront District

Stroll along Cape Fear River's scenic boardwalk where historic charm meets waterfront beauty. The Riverfront District buzzes with shops and eateries tucked into 18th-century buildings. You'll spot the impressive USS North Carolina Battleship while exploring cobblestone streets dotted with museums, the Wilson Center, and the historic Bellamy Mansion. Waterfront dining serves up fresh seafood with river views, though prices reflect the prime location. Most attractions are within easy walking distance despite the charming but uneven cobblestones. The free downtown trolley connects major sites, and boutique hotels in restored historic buildings offer period charm with modern comforts.

Bellamy Mansion Museum which includes a house, heritage architecture and a fountain

Wilmington Historic District

Discover a national historic district featuring 875 contributing buildings, Queen Anne and Bungalow/American Craftsman style architecture, and notable landmarks like Bellamy Mansion and St. James Episcopal Church.

The sun is setting and sky is almost clear of clouds at this Private dock in the Banks Channel near River To The Sea Bikeway bridge in Wrightsville Beach, North Carolina

Wrightsville Sound

Wrightsville Sound gives you the best of both worlds - coastal calm just minutes from Wrightsville Beach's sandy shores. The tree-lined streets and waterfront views create a peaceful retreat where you can kayak along the Intracoastal Waterway or take a quick drive to the beach. Nearby attractions include New Hanover County Arboretum and the charming Wrightsville Beach Museum of History. This neighborhood is primarily residential, with vacation homes and condos rather than hotels. You'll need a car to access dining options and shopping, which are limited within Wrightsville Sound itself. The quiet atmosphere and natural beauty make it perfect for travelers seeking an authentic coastal living experience away from tourist crowds.

Wilmington and related destinations

Wander the historic riverfront where colorful shops and seafood restaurants serve the day's catch alongside the Cape Fear River. The USS North Carolina, a decommissioned WWII battleship, stands as a floating museum across from downtown. Film buffs might recognize streets from 'One Tree Hill' or 'Dawson's Creek' – Wilmington hosts one of America's largest production facilities outside California. The Riverwalk offers perfect sunset views before heading to Thalian Hall for live performances in a 19th-century theater. Nearby beaches beckon when city exploration ends, while the Cape Fear Museum reveals local history from prehistoric times to present day. University energy keeps the downtown scene lively with cafes and music venues where students mix with locals.

Comfort Inn University

2/10 Terrible
"Pros: cold air and hot shower Cons: Hard beds Nasty carpet. I walked from one bed to the bathroom for a shower and my feet were nasty. Smells like old wet dog One washcloth and 3 hand towels One bar of soap in the bathroom and no hand soap. 1 ply toilet paper. Just splurge on some 2 ply already. Customers will be happier and y’all willl save some $$ in the longer run. No mention of the following: there is a gentlemen’s club and bar very nearby. Like literally next door. The back is against a car dealership that keeps street lights on all night. Which shines into the windows that have coverings that don’t completely block out the light. There are also car garages and all you can hear is cars being worked on (unless it’s the weekend). The pictures of this place make it appear nice but it’s not really. Half the elevators don’t work. The morning coffee for their breakfast is horrible. The iron in the room was used to melt plastic at some point. The pillows are lumpy. The bed is hard. I shouldn’t have to go out and buy air freshener for my room. Oh and the door knob is about to fall off the bathroom door. And the WiFi sucks. Probably got what I paid for but I will never stay there again and would never recommend it."
