Charleston
is America's most beautifully preserved historic treasure. Surrounded by
antebellum plantations and lush resort islands, it has been named one of the
"Top 25" destinations in the world by Travel & Leisure, and one of
the "Top Ten" destinations in the US by Conde Nast Traveler.
Charleston's
300 year heritage features magnificent churches, houses and commercial buildings
which give the city a decided European feel. This also includes the cobble
stoned streets which can be very difficult to walk on in ladies' dress shoes.
Wear comfortable walking shoes and be prepared to walk.

World-class
recreational opportunities (golf, tennis, fishing and boating), the South's most
celebrated restaurants, and an unmatched selection of antique and specialty
shops complete the area's widespread appeal.
A
private word about a very special place: Waterfront Park. Built on land fill at the point of Charleston overlooking the convergence of the Ashley and Cooper Rivers, this popular park offers a quiet, relaxing, nicely shaded spot to sit and watch the boats (and people) go by. Just follow King, Meeting, Bay or any of the north-south streets to the park (the building numbers descend as you approach the park). |
