Best time to visit Charlotte
Summertime in Charlotte (June-August) is the most popular time to visit, with balmy weather, plenty of festivals and longer opening hours of attractions. However, you’ll be dealing with visiting crowds and excessive prices. Autumn (September-November) is a lovely time to visit, with cooler weather, thinning crowds and more affordable accommodation rates. Theatre lovers can enjoy the Fringe Festival in September, while foodies are treated to gourmet BBQ, wine and food festivals during October.
Winter (December-February) marks the off-season, with attractions closing early; however, if you plan attractions ahead of time, you can take full advantage of cheap flights and hotel rates, in a quiet and cosy town.

Charlotte is the largest city in North Carolina and is one of the fastest-growing and most successful cities in the Southern United States. It is steadily increasing its standing as a tourism destination both locally and internationally.
Much of Charlotte’s original architecture has given way to glistening skyscrapers and apartment blocks, but there are still some historic treasures scattered in and around the city. The town houses a wide collection of museums, including the Mint Museum of Art, Levine Museum of the South, the Charlotte Museum of History and Carolinas Aviation Museum, for insights into the region’s cultures and discoveries. The NASCAR Hall of Fame depicts the history and heritage of NASCAR, intriguing not only racing fans.
A little out of town, nestled along the Catawba River, you’ll find the Historic Latta Plantation – a prime example of a colonial plantation with information about yeomen, farmers and slaves.
Modern Uptown attractions include the Bank of America Stadium and Lowe’s Motor Speedway. Paramount’s Carowinds Theme Park and Discovery Place are family favourites, with interactive learning centres and thrilling entertainment.
Celebrated for its ‘green’ spaces of tree canopies and lush parks, Charlotte is home to beautiful lakes and parks – a peaceful backdrop to this bustling town!

Do not walk down unlit streets or empty alleyways at night and avoid attracting unnecessary attention to yourself.
If you suffer from allergies, you may want to bring allergy medication to alleviate hay fever brought on by the city’s flowering trees and greenspaces.
