I've been there, it was awesome

if you like museums there's quite a bunch in there, plus a few historical buildings with a interesting story, like the exchange and provost building.

it's all more or less in the same place (historical district). there's also a pretty nice market there, if you're into shopping.

Fort Sumter is also a pretty marketed touristic area but I wouldn't recommend you to go there, it's kinda boring unless you really like civil war forts.

if you're into military stuff there's a place called Patriots Point right after crossing the bridge on your OP pic. It's awesome, it has a big aircraft carrier, a submarine and a ship, plus a few vietnam style vehicles. You can go inside all of them, and if you take your time you might spend a whole morning checking it out.

other than that you can just take a walk around the city, the houses are beautiful and overall it's a great city with a small town feeling.

I live in Charleston. I can tell you about some things to try and some things to avoid.

Things to avoid: Hymen's Seafood Restaurant. It's a tourist trap of the most foul levels.
Avoid America street unless you like getting mugged.


Do your research and ask the locals, they are really friendly and willingly to point you towards whatever food you are in the mood for. I recommend Basil for Thai food, Poogan's Porch for southern cuisine, Edmond's Oast for craft beer and food ( they have a brewery in the restaraunt) , and the Tattooed Moose for an awesome duck sandwich.

Most of the clubs are on King Street as far as the night life is concerned, but there is some fun stuff on market street as well.

I also think there is good food in West Ashley too. Early Bird Diner and Boxcar Betty's come to mind.

Mt. Pleasant is ok. There's some good food around and little strip mall called town center that's pretty neat.

Did you visit the plantations?

We were thinking about Magnolia.
