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.

Fort Sumter National Monument and Middleton Place are good opportunities to explore the local culture. Popular historic sites such as Magnolia Plantation & Gardens and Charleston History Tours are in your itinerary. Take a break from Charleston with a short trip to The Center for Birds of Prey in Awendaw, about 38 minutes away. The adventure continues: kick back and relax at Folly Beach Public Beach, go for a charming ride with a horse-drawn carriage tour, test your problem-solving skills at popular escape rooms, and take in the views from Arthur Ravenel Jr. Bridge.
