Around the
Town
|
The tourism center is located inside the Convention Center. Grab a map of
downtown New Bern and explore the historic homes that are easily within walking
distance. New Bern has many distinct styles of architecture. Some features are
unique to this area and are a result of the work of professional boat carpenters
that often worked on homes in the off season.
Take a river cruise or rent a boat.
An enjoyable
way to spend a few hours is by taking a river cruise. You will get to see
parts of the beautiful Trent and the mighty Neuse Rivers. If you would
rather you can rent your own boat and spend all day on the water.
