Review:
Charleston is a city on the Atlantic coast of South Carolina. The historic town was founded in 1670 and features many relics of its history, such as cobblestone streets and many pre-Civil War homes and buildings in the historic district. For an ultimately nostalgic experience, book a horse-drawn carriage ride through the old section of town and you’ll feel as if you are being transported to the Charleston of several centuries ago. Other attractions include Fort Sumter, the Magnolia Plantation and Gardens, City Market, and Waterfront Park. October is a popular time to visit as the weather is perfect, so you may have to fight some crowds, but the visit will be worth it.
