Getting Here
Oh Hey, So You’re Thinking about Coming to Hickory?? 🚗✈️🚂
Good news—getting to Hickory is easy. Like, “why didn’t we do this sooner?” easy.
Whether you're road-tripping with snacks in hand or hopping off a plane, the Hickory Metro region is perfectly positioned in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains and just a short drive from pretty much everywhere.
We’re right off I-40, smack dab between Asheville and Winston-Salem, and just about an hour from Charlotte Douglas International Airport (CLT)—one of the busiest (and most convenient) airports in the country. Translation: you’re closer than you think.
Oh, and here’s the fun part: More than half the U.S. population (about 60%) lives within a day’s drive of us. So whether you're headed here from within the Carolinas, Georgia, Tennessee, or beyond, your Hickory weekend escape is well within reach.
Need a lift from the Charlotte Airport to Hickory - plan your arrival (😁 woohoo!) and departure (🙁 aw shucks! We are already sad to see you go) with Hickory Hop! They do all the heavy lifting of driving while you relax and just go with the flow.
Getting Around Hickory
Once you’ve arrived, getting around is a breeze. Explore our charming downtowns, stroll scenic greenways like the Hickory Trail System, or cruise around in your own ride. We've got plenty of (FREE) parking, easy(ish)-to-navigate roads, and you can always catch an Uber or Lyft to your next adventure.
