Why visit Charlotte?

Known as the Queen City, Charlotte has built quite the reputation for being the NASCAR capital of the United States. The NASCAR Hall of Fame is one of the most popular tourist attractions the city has to offer. The Charlotte Motor Speedway, another must-visit for any petrol head, is just 27 kilometres from the downtown area. If that doesn’t appeal to you then check out one of the numerous other museums, the Raptor Centre or Carowinds, a popular local theme park.
And that’s not all. Although California tends to get all the golden glory when it comes to the Gold Rush of the 1800s, North Carolina has a rush of its own. Reed Gold Mine is located just 40 minutes outside of the city and offers a wealth of information about this fascinating period in history. You can even try your luck at panning for gold yourself. Then retreat into Free Park – 100 acres of peace and quiet, the perfect way to escape the hustle and bustle of the city.
