A ferry ride to Fort Sumter National Historical Park adds important historical context along with beautiful views of Charleston Harbor. Guided walking, carriage, architecture, and culinary tours provide additional ways to discover the city’s distinctive character.
Charleston also invites visitors to slow down and enjoy its celebrated culinary scene, scenic waterways, gardens, and coastal surroundings. Sample Lowcountry favorites such as shrimp and grits, she-crab soup, and fresh local seafood, or relax over a leisurely meal in a shaded courtyard.
