As one of the biggest cities in North Carolina, Charlotte is renowned for its quaint 18th-century charm mixed with historic Civil War sites, all surrounded by a growing modernity impossible to miss. Whether you’re spending the day in downtown for an event at Charlotte Convention Center or simply wanting to stay close to Charlotte Douglas International, the best way to do it is with the right location. Reserve a hotel on either Scott Futrell or Queen City to get a airport shuttle as well as convenient location just north of the terminal, or go with a downtown stay along South Boulevard, which turns into Caldwell Street, for instant access to the city’s Light Rail System. Keep in mind you can also reserve a private lift for ultimate freedom, enjoying the city one-on-one with a private city or going the long haul with a chartered bus rental perfect for bringing large parties around town.
Go with the right flow by kicking the day off in matching fashion, whether that means going on a long stroll through the McDowell Nature Preserve or enjoying the mid-century mixed with postmodern at the Bechtler Museum of Modern Art. Those interested in the art of racing should check out the NASCAR Hall of Fame, renowned for its high-tech displays showcasing vintage artifacts alongside future plans for the American pillar. Those looking to check out unique landmarks near the airport should check out the Billy Graham Library, a religious library that offers guest access to the pastor’s home as well as exclusive literature that can be read on-site. Go for the finest Charleston cuisine the city has to offer by looking to Tryon Street at the end of the day, going with small plates & inventive ingredients at Halcyon Flavors From the Earth, while keeping the late-night treats at Insomnia Cookies in mind.
