Like a picturesque memoir of the past, Charleston offers itself as a genteel world of cobblestone streets and stately antebellum plantations. Stroll along the famous Battery and through the Public Market, where voices from a bygone era still resonate. Or enjoy an intimate glimpse of the port city while riding on a romantic carriage, as your cares drift away. After building up an appetite, dine on a breezy piazza at one of the many quaint cafes and seafood restaurants overlooking the harbor. As night falls, let the enchanting mixture of music and laughter guide you into one of the trendy downtown nightspots. And of course, gentle island breezes from nearby beaches always beckon.
