When traveling to a new destination we often seek out every pamphlet, website, tour guide, and marketing material we can get our hands on to plan our trip and make sure we do not miss the ‘must see’ destinations. For an equally fun and memorable ‘staycation’ in Charlotte, you just need to think like a tourist. By approaching your own neighborhood with a new spirit of discovery, you are likely to find many interesting things you regularly overlook. If you live in VUE Charlotte condominiums, or in uptown Charlotte, we have selected venues and activities right around the corner.
