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.

Attractions like Magnolia Plantation & Gardens and Fort Sumter National Monument make great kid-friendly stops. There's still lots to do: admire the natural beauty at Middleton Place, steep yourself in history at Aiken-Rhett House, go for a charming ride with a horse-drawn carriage tour, and brush up on your military savvy at Patriots Point.
