Charleston, SC

A maze of cobbled streets, pastel-hued Antebellum architecture and horse-drawn carriages, Charleston evokes the elegance of America’s south. A treasure trove of history, the first shots of the Civil War were fired here, just across the water at Fort Sumter, and the city plays host to America’s first museum. Stroll through the colorful houses of the French Quarter, admire the views from Waterfront Park over Charleston Harbor, and uncover somber history at the Old Slave Mart Museum.
