A City with Warmth – The Ultimate Travel Guide to Charlotte

The first stop of my winter break road trip through the American South was Charlotte, the largest city in North Carolina. All in all, I absolutely fell for this city. We arrived on December 31st, and the temperature in Charlotte was just perfect for me at that time. 🌲 🌴Wandering through the streets with someone I love was pure comfort and bliss.🍀 NASCAR Hall of Fame NASCAR racing is insanely popular across North America. 🌼 🌷🌷It was my first time seeing so many race cars up close – the hall showcases dozens of winning vehicles from past NASCAR events, along with all the champion drivers’ racing suits. 💐 There are also video interviews with various titleholders, where you can truly feel their passion and love for racing through their words.🍉 🍎🍎What’s more, you can get hands-on experience with a racing engine simulator and even drive on a simulated NASCAR track.🍣 It’s a perfect blend of fun and education.🍟 💡 Recommendation Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 💡 Tickets: We bought ours at the ticket counter in the lobby. 🍱 The staff will offer you several package options; we went for the standard ticket, which cost $25 per person.🍵🍵 💡 Location: Right in Charlotte Downtown 💡 Parking Tip: The best bet is the underground parking lot right next to the NASCAR Hall of Fame.🍧 We parked there for about 3–4 hours and paid around $15, which is cheaper than other nearby lots. 👀 We suggest parking here and walking – street parking around the hall is basically unavailable, and the other attractions are all within walking distance anyway.💞💞 💞 Bechtler Museum of Modern Art The Bechtler Museum of Modern Art boasts a distinctive architectural design – it’s the brown building shown in it. ✨ The museum spans three floors and is the only institution in the American South dedicated to exhibiting European and American modern artworks.🎊 The third floor features a multi-screen film themed around Brazilian culture and art, with an innovative design and a unique narrative style.🏡 If you’re a fan of post-modernist art, this is a must-visit spot.🐲 💡 Tickets: Student discounts are available, priced at approximately $7 per person.🍚 Mint Museum Randolph🌷🌷 The Mint Museum Randolph gets its name from its history – it first served as a branch of the U.S. Mint back in the 1830s before being converted into a museum in the 1930s.😻😻 🍐🎼This museum is a veritable treasure trove of porcelain from around the world, with a focus on British and European pieces from the 18th and 19th centuries. 😍 In addition, it also houses private collections of Chinese and Japanese porcelain from Western collectors. 🥒🥒 🍏When we visited, there was even a special exhibition featuring Anna Sui’s works.🌻 💡 Tickets: Student discounts are available, priced at approximately $10 per person. 🌟 Charlotte is truly a city meant for strolling around its streets and corners. 🥩 The temperature is especially pleasant in late December and early January, and there are plenty of great photo spots around Downtown.🍍🍍 #USATravel #TravelGuide #ThingsToDoInCharlotteNC
