I’m really excited to interview Beau Wigington of Brews Rock Podcast about Greensboro, North Carolina. Beau’s tips for the best things to do in Greensboro are awesome because he moved to Greensboro for college in 2006, left to chase his dreams of making it big in music, then came back to settle down. He’s a huge craft beer fan and dedicates his time to helping others develop their music careers.

Getting around Greensboro
The local airport is Piedmont Triad International Airport (PTI), which is about a 20-minute drive to downtown. Beau says it can be cheaper to fly into Raleigh-Durham International Airport (RDU) or Charlotte Douglas International Airport (CLT), but it’s not as convenient to use those airports. Use our Expedia tool below to find flight, hotel, and rental car options.
Beau says that it’s a good idea to rent a car since a lot of attractions are not within walking distance. For the best rental car offers, visit Avis, Budget, or Hertz.
Uber and Lyft are excellent ways to get around.
When you only need a car for a couple of hours, you can rent by the hour with Zipcar. Join now to get $25 loaded into your account.
