Things to Do in Charleston
Once you have soaked up the ambience of Charleston’s historic cobbled streets, think about heading further afield. The city is blessed with some beautiful scenery and outstanding areas of natural beauty. After a busy day of sightseeing, pay a visit to Folly Beach. It’s a great day trip away from the hustle and bustle of city life. On a hot day, head down to Waterfront Park to take in the views or even cool off on the famous Pineapple Fountain. We also recommend taking a day trip to Boone Hall Plantation and Gardens. These beautiful grounds have featured in a number of films and TV series. However, no matter how idyllic it appears, its history is far from it. Visit here to learn about what life was like for enslaved people. Finally, visit Charleston in May and catch America’s Spoleto Festival USA, a seventeen-day festival featuring over 100 performances by artists spread throughout the city.
