Charleston

I live in Summerville which is about 20 miles from Charleston. I have lived here for about 10 years. It fascinates me that one weekend a month, my husband and I can play tourists in our own town and we have yet to see everything. There are so many things to see and do in Charleston that you could visit every year and never see all to see. The SC Aquarium recently opened in downtown Charleston and it is the best sight to see. The Aquarium was designed to take you from the coast to the mountains of South Carolina. There are a multitude of exhibits of different species. They have many interactive exhibits where you can learn about the species with hands on ...  Read the complete review

Charleston is a lovely place. We stayed in Historic Charleston which is the touristy part of the town. This area is very compact and therefore easy to navigate. One word of warning – walk, don’t drive. The place is easy to walk around and you see a lot of great sights.

Charleston is on the coast of South Carolina. It is a town which is dominated by it’s past and almost everything seems to be perfectly preserved. The downtown area is compact with narrow streets which are easy to navigate. We took a horse-drawn tour of the city to give us a feel for the place and I can highly recommend this. This covers all the major historic sites, gave us some background information on some of the previous inhabitants and also gave us tips on places to eat,shop etc. We were then able to explore ourselves and go back to some of the areas covered on the tour for a closer look. Many of the preserved houses are open to the public. For anyone ...  Read the complete review
