Beautiful New Bern, situated along the Neuse and Trent rivers, invites visitors to enjoy water views, street art, unique shopping and dining options and charming bed and breakfast inns. Anchoring the town's love of history is Tryon Palace Historic Sites & Gardens, the reconstructed home of 1770s British-Colonial Governor William Tryon. Walking tours or trolley tours of New Bern's architecturally rich historic districts provide great ways to learn about the three centuries of New World life in this region. In more recent history, New Bern is known as the Birthplace of Pepsi-Cola.
Visitors and residents enjoy fishing and boating on the rivers, golfing on local courses, relaxing in waterfront parks, visiting farms, hiking and camping in nearby Croatan National Forest and local art galleries and shows.
The town's rich history factors into many of its best attractions and things to do and see. And visitors often fall in love with the small-town appeal of New Bern — so much so that they make this riverfront town their homes.
