7 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.

Charleston is known for historic sites, parks, nightlife, wildlife, and museums. Your plan includes some of its best attractions: explore and take pictures at Magnolia Plantation & Gardens, don't miss a visit to Riley Waterfront Park, take in nature's colorful creations at Middleton Place, and steep yourself in history at Fort Sumter National Monument.

In March, plan for daily highs up to 66°F, and evening lows to 47°F. Wrap up your sightseeing on the 15th (Fri) early enough to travel back home.
