And then there is Charleston. Her charm and beauty have long proven to be irrestible. You'll see it in the lacy trim of her breezy piazzas. And feel it in the spirit of her rich heritage. A port city steeped in history. Barely changed since its founding in 1670. Here you'll find the very best of the South. A genteel nature, so inviting. So gracious. And an indomitable strength that has proudly withstood great fires, earthquakes, pirates, a civil war and hurricanes with little more than a bat of an eye.
AMERICA'S MOST HISTORICAL CITY
Charleston, S.C.
Charles Town, as it was originally called, was settled in 1670 where the Asley and Cooper Rivers meet to form the Atlantic Ocean. It is most famous for its well preserved 18th century architecture, historical forts, gardens, and seaport facilities.
By horse-drawn carriage, air-conditioned bus, boat, bicycle or on foot, a tour of Charleston is a remarkable journey through time.
