Salisbury is a compact, walkable Piedmont city with a revived downtown full of independent restaurants, breweries, galleries, theaters, museums (like the Rowan Museum), regular festivals and nearby parks—ideal for a travel therapist who wants varied evenings, easy errands, and interesting weekend options during multi‑week stays.
You’re also about 25 miles northeast of Charlotte for big‑city dining, airports and nightlife, with Greensboro and Winston‑Salem within an easy drive for extra weekend variety, so it’s easy to keep a quiet home base while still accessing metropolitan amenities when you want them.
