It's hard to describe the central part of the state. There are no real vacation destinations. There are however hundreds of towns with plenty of history, much of it captured in historic houses and buildings such as the towns below.
Central:
Spring Hope
Nashville
Wake Forest
Louisburg
Warrenton
Hillsborough
There are plenty more in the Piedmont, but most have been bypassed by interstates and even I haven't visited many of them... sad to say.
I would have to say Seattle is a beauty. When I visited a friend there that has an apartment on the hillside about a 15 minute walk to the Space Needle I just remember standing on the balcony and stareing. This was at night. It is beautiful, like a gem.
I've heard that Pittsburgh is very beautiful as you are approaching it from the distance.
Provincetown, MA a traditional fishing village with beautiful scenery
Charleston, S.C. everybody knows about this one
Chapel Hill, N.C. UNC campus and classy surroundings
Key West, FL tropical island paradise
Palm Springs, CA desert oasis
Vancouver, B.C. cleanest, most beautiful big city I've ever seen
