As the CBD and banking capital of the USA, Uptown is a cosmopolitan and commercial neighbourhood with modern high-rise architecture. It’s home to some of the swankiest hotels on the market, as well as some of the city’s hottest clubs for those excited to experience its nightlife.
However, the city’s arts district, NoDa, takes the crown for nightlife and entertainment with an eclectic range of bars, clubs, theatres, and live music venues popping off all week long. Creatives will also love its bohemian atmosphere and thriving artisan scene.
While Plaza Midwood has just as much creative energy to offer as NoDa, it is less polished and more ideal for those on a smaller budget.
Stay in Dilworth, just south of Uptown, to experience the historic side of Charlotte. While most of its streets are quiet and quaint, you’re always just around the corner from trendy boutiques and restaurants.
South End has all the history and charm of Dilworth mixed with all the fun and excitement of Uptown, but with a hipster twist. From top craft breweries to hot art galleries, there’s plenty here to eat, drink, see, and do from your doorstep.
Elizabeth is a tranquil and relaxed residential neighbourhood located directly adjacent to Uptown known for its quaint bakeries, cafes, and restaurants. Families may enjoy the respite it offers from the busy city life without having to compromise on a central location.
The light rail train makes it easy to travel in and around Charlotte from any central location, but to explore the city at a more glacial pace, hire a bike from Charlotte B-cycle, its bike-sharing service.
