Charlotte Overview

By Travel Expert: Candyce H. Stapen

Nestled in the Piedmont area in south-central North Carolina, Charlotte, the second largest financial center in the U.S., is more than just a soulless city of suits. Check out its interesting museums, stroll the McGill Rose Garden, and enjoy family-friendly fun without the chaos of other major family hubs.
