Walk through Uptown Charlotte to explore Black heritage, historic sites, murals, and the stories that helped shape the Queen City.

About this tour

Explore Charlotte’s African American legacy on a guided walk through Uptown, where the city’s history comes into view through its landmarks, public art, and neighborhood sites. This Charlotte Black Legacy Walking Tour also introduces Queen Charlotte, the African and mixed-heritage queen whose name inspired the city’s “Queen City” nickname.

As you stroll, discover the site of a historic African American church, view murals celebrating Black culture and its leaders, and visit a park featuring a 30-foot sculpture with a historic landmark nearby. The route also highlights places connected to a once-thriving Black neighborhood and the African Americans whose work helped build Charlotte and its wealth. A licensed guide shares context that brings these stories together, while the walk offers a chance to connect with the city’s African and African American heritage.

The Charlotte Black Legacy Walking Tour lasts about two hours and meets at the Queen Charlotte Statue on the corner of College Street and 5th Street. Wear comfortable shoes and come ready to see the Queen City through a deeper historical lens.

How the score works and rating distribution in Charlotte
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 8.3. Top 14% in Charlotte means it ranks in the top 14% of tours in Charlotte by this score.
