6 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.

Change things up with a short trip to The Center for Birds of Prey in Awendaw (about 38 minutes away). There's lots more to do: take in nature's colorful creations at Magnolia Plantation & Gardens, contemplate the long history of Fort Sumter National Monument, snap pictures at Arthur Ravenel Jr. Bridge, and take in the local highlights with Walking tours.
