The Battery is a historic landmark with a stunning view of Charleston's harbor and magnificent homes dating back to the Civil War era.
The Charleston Museum is a must-see for history lovers. Exhibits provide an overview of Charleston's rich history, including the city's role in both the Revolutionary and Civil Wars.
Boone Hall Plantation is a beautiful plantation estate that was established in 1681. The plantation features gorgeous gardens and grounds, as well as a mansion that is open for guided tours.
If you have an extra day in Charleston, consider visiting the Fort Sumter National Monument. Also, be sure to bring sunscreen and comfortable shoes as there is a lot of walking involved. If you have less time, consider skipping Boone Hall Plantation and instead opt for a visit to Rainbow Row, the historic pastel colored houses located on East Bay Street.
