5 days in Charleston Itinerary

Many visitors describe their Charleston holiday as a warm embrace by an old, dear friend--who lived about 200 years ago.

Visit Fort Sumter National Monument and Magnolia Plantation & Gardens for their historical value. Get some cultural insight at Patriots Point and Nathaniel Russell House. You'll find plenty of places to visit near Charleston: Litchfield Beach (in Litchfield Beach) and The Center for Birds of Prey (in Awendaw). The adventure continues: tour the pleasant surroundings at Folly Beach Public Beach, get thoroughly spooked out with a ghost and vampire tour, get interesting insight from Tours, and get the lay of the land with Walking tours.

Expect a daytime high around 84°F in September, and nighttime lows around 70°F. Finish your sightseeing early on the 4th (Fri) to allow enough time to travel back home.
