Highlights of Charleston
1. Internationally Influenced Architecture
Charleston exists as one of North America’s most architecturally significant destinations. Called the Holy City, a nod to the many church steeples that dominate the city skyline, Charleston is a preservationist’s muse with three centuries of well-preserved history on display at every turn.
2. Local, Cultural Artisans
The history of African-American contributions to the vibrant arts and culture scene is rich and immersed throughout the Charleston area. Take a Gullah tour to be consumed by the sights and sounds of a new culture and witness, first-hand, some of the generational artistry alive today.
3. Award Winning Cuisine
Many come to Charleston with one thing on their mind: food. The best grits you'll ever have, prepared in ways you never imagined. Festive dockside oyster roasts. High-end Charleston restaurants. Outdoor cafés. Fresh from the dock seafood. Every meal is an event in itself.
