Salisbury-an old-school town with a cool vibe
Nestled between the beach and the bay, historic Salisbury’s been drawing travelers for almost 300 years. Founded in 1732, its quaint wood and brick-fronted buildings mean Salisbury has an old-world charm to it, while thank to its university and regular art festivals you'll find a friendly, cosmopolitan vibe. What’s more, it’s set at the head of Wicomico River, and surrounded by meandering rivers, rocky creeks and lush woodland with winding trails. Book a Salisbury vacation rental and make the most of the city’s many attractions.
History, art and some furry friends in Salisbury
Salisbury's been around for near on 300 years, and there's few better reminders of this than Pemberton Hall. Built in 1741, it's one of Salisbury's most storied houses. If you're looking for something kid-friendly, then head on down to Salisbury Zoo, which has animals from across the Americas, and offers educational tours and classes. Or how about a place that combines art and wildlife in one place? Then look no further than the Ward Museum. Housed in a sleek building overlooking a bird sanctuary, you can explore the museum's nature-inspired galleries, and pop outside to see their many bird species.
Wind your way through cool Salisbury
With its large student population, Salisbury has a hip feel to it. In spring and summer, many visitors stroll along downtown Salisbury’s brick-lined streets, where you'll find a wide range of boutiques, art galleries and international restaurants. There’s a flea market on every weekend, and the 3rd Friday arts festival happens, (yes, you've guessed it!) on the third Friday of the month. If you also fancy getting out in the great outdoors, there’s kayaking and canoeing on the tree-lined Wicomico River, while scenic trails wind through over 260 acres of woodland in Pemberton Historical Park, just 3 miles from most of the downtown Salisbury vacation rentals.
