Charlotte, North Carolina, is a crowd-pleaser for a range of demographics. City slickers, outdoor enthusiasts, and foodies alike can all find a happy home in North Carolina’s crown jewel.
Nicknamed the Queen City for its royal namesake, Queen Charlotte of Mecklenburg-Strelitz, Charlotte is decidedly unpretentious—yet pleasantly refined, sleekly gentrified. Its Southern latitude lends it just the right dose of that proverbial charm, and it’s served with a surprisingly generous helping of both sophistication and friendliness, especially for a city of its size—New South, indeed.
