Low Cost Hotels in Port Charlotte ➤ Best Prices Guaranteed!

Established at the crossroads of two old Indian trading paths, Charlotte -- now with a population of over 450,000 -- has grown from her modest beginnings into the 35th largest city in the United States. And the "Queen City of the South" offers almost unlimited entertainment possibilities. Like sports? Attend events year 'round: basketball, football, baseball, hockey and NASCAR racing. Not hip to the spectator scene? Charlotte also boasts botanical gardens, historic sites, sightseeing cruises on nearby Lake Norman, amusement and theme parks, and festivals celebrating everything from Highland games to the Renaissance. The "Queen City" really struts her stuff when it comes to the arts. Concerts, art exhibits, performing arts, gallery crawls, an international film and video festival, and national touring companies pack the schedule to the bursting point with cultural happenings. From opera to jazz and from the Mint Museum of Art (NC's first art museum) to the artists of the North Davidson Street galleries, Charlotte's aesthetic is the true diamond in the city's crown.
