Charlotte Itineraries

Day 1

Begin your day by exploring the regal heritage of the Queen City with a personalized tour. Discover the city’s many oak-shaded picture-perfect thoroughfares, progressive new development concepts, and charming 19th century architecture.

Then, buckle up at the Richard Petty Driving Experience for heart-pounding laps around the track at speeds of up to 180mph. Have lunch overlooking one of the gems of the NASCAR circuit — Lowe’s Motor Speedway — at the Speedway Club.

Relish in some retail therapy throughout the afternoon at Concord Mills, a not-to-be-missed shopping destination featuring outlets with hundreds of the best names in retail.

To relax, hit the town to experience unmatched Southern hospitality at eclectic wine bars, live jazz venues, choice clubs, or low-key brew pubs.

Day 2

Visit one of Charlotte’s most compelling attractions, The Billy Graham Library, to encounter the powerful legacy of "America's Pastor." Enjoy a hearty lunch with recipes from Ruth Graham herself at the facility’s country kitchen in a recreated dairy farm environment.

Next, suit up at the U.S. National Whitewater Center, where you’ll get soaked on Class III and IV whitewater rapids. Hiking, biking, and climbing offerings round out this outdoorsman’s paradise.

Return to Center City to enjoy a relaxing dinner at dozens of group-friendly restaurants including Rock Bottom Brewery and Harper’s Restaurant.

Top off your Charlotte stay by painting the town red with a Broadway Show like Wicked or Disney’s The Lion King at the NC Blumenthal Performing Arts Center.
