City Information

Winter Park

Winter Park is a city in Florida outside Orlando, known for its many outdoor spaces and art and museum centres. The Albin Polasek Museum & Sculpture Gardens showcases sculptures in a lush setting, the Charles Hosmer Morse Museum of American Art is renowned for its Tiffany windows, and the Rollins Museum of Art exhibits artworks from ancient to contemporary periods.

Museums aside, Winter Park is a fabulous urban outdoor destination. Paddle through Winter Park Canals, smell the wisteria at Central Park, and relax in Kraft Azalea Garden on Lake Maitland. Winter Park's premier urban village has cypresses sweeping over red-brick streets lined with cafés, gastro pubs, and brewing companies. Walk along Park Avenue or in the Hannibal Square district for the best shopping and dining in historic settings.

Winter Park is one of the stops on Amtrak's Silver Service between New York City and Miami. FlixBus runs a few intercity bus routes directly to Winter Park, but additional bus lines go through nearby Orlando.

Charlotte

A mecca for fans of speed in general and for NASCAR in particular, Charlotte is a burgeoning urban centre that still retains its southern charm. Even if you are not a hardcore fan of NASCAR, it is still worth taking the time to check it out. Housing more than just plaques dedicated to legendary drivers, the NASCAR Hall of Fame also features high-tech exhibits, as well as racing simulators to keep you enthralled. If cars are not your thing, the bustling Uptown area, which houses the city’s top museums such as Discovery Place or Mint Museum Uptown, will offer a day’s worth of interesting facts to enjoy. When you wish to get away from the hustle and bustle of Uptown, Freedom Park, located about three miles north of the city centre, provides a natural refuge where you can recover.

Charlotte’s food scene is brimming with life, as modernized Southern staples take the city by storm. Perhaps the best place to enjoy the tastiest Southern dishes in town is at Price’s Chicken Coop. If you are looking to enjoy some fine barbecues, Midwood Smokehouse or Noble Smoke might have what you need.

Charlotte’s busiest bus station is at W 4th St in the heart of the city, offering bus trips by several carriers like Greyhound and Jefferson Lines to other cities such as Richmond or New York. The city is served by three Amtrak lines: the Crescent, the Carolinian, and the Piedmont. Travellers can catch these trains at the station on Tryon St in Lockwood. The main airport of the city is the Charlotte Douglas International Airport, which is the sixth-busiest airport in the country. It is located 6 miles from the city centre.
