Historic Charleston.

The Battery Park in Charleston, SC.

Historic Charleston was such a fun place to visit. I don't want to lie to you though, it is tiring! Be sure to wear good walking shoes as you adventure around the beautiful city of Charleston. No matter where you are you will find beauty and historical heritage around every corner. When we visit Charleston, we always make a point to throw our bicycles on the back of the car. The city is a lot easier to see on a bike rather than in a car. Make sure you have the big cushioned seat though because the original cobblestone will surely hurt your bottom otherwise. Make sure you visit the Battery Park located on the end of the port. A huge, beautiful park full of massive trees that have been growing for ages. A wonderful place to take a packed picnic or to bring a dog if you have one. As you walk around the Battery you will see the history of the city come to life.

The US Custom House located in downtown Charleston!

Walk around the historic downtown and look at all of the historic homes. Charleston contains some of the most beautiful homes I have ever seen. While you are exploring, make sure to stop by the Old Market, which is full of history and people trying to make trades as they have been doing there for centries. Walk across the street from the market and grab some ice cream. For lunch stop by the Brown Dog Deli, grab yourself a granny smith apple, turkey, and brie sandwich. It is to die for! Be sure to travel across the huge suspended bridge, at day and night. It's beautiful to see the cities light up at night. If you have the time, try to take a night cruise on one of the local boats. They are beautiful, the food is delicious and there is a little bit of dancing to bring you out of your shell. There are so many things to do and see while you are in Charleston, make sure you are staying for a few days! Don't forget to visit Folly Beach, which is about a thirty minute drive from Charleston.
