A Mini Eiffel Tower in Raleigh, NC! 🗼✨

Sharing my one-day trip to Raleigh, the capital of North Carolina: 🏘️ Lafayette Village – A French-inspired with a mini Eiffel Tower (it’s pretty small though!). Some cute architecture around — photo #2 is a gift shop 🎁 with local specialties, beautifully wrapped. Had lunch at a noodle place — just okay. Not as bustling as I imagined. 🏛️ Downtown – The State Capitol is under renovation 🚧. Nearby is a free history museum — great place to cool down 🧊! Though not as hot as Nashville, Raleigh can still be humid. Fun fact: Raleigh is where the Wright Brothers did their first flight test! ✈️ 🍚 Morgan Street Food Hall – A fun food hall with fried snacks and Raleigh Rolls (rolled ice cream!) 🍦🧁. Definitely worth a visit! 🈯️ Overall – Raleigh feels safe and clean 🧼. Worth a half-day visit, but maybe not a special trip — better as a stopover. Nearby are great universities like Duke, Wake Forest, UNC Chapel Hill, and NC State 🎓. Perfect for a campus tour! #NorthCarolina #Raleigh #TravelNC #MiniEiffelTower #FoodHall #CampusTour
