Things To Do
Old South Carriage Company
Reserve your seat on a Charleston carriage tour for an unforgettable ride through the cobblestone streets of this historic city.
Waterfront Park
Situated along the eastern edge of the peninsula, overlooking Charleston Harbor and Cooper Park, this spacious waterfront green space is ideal for a relaxing stroll or a scenic picnic. Afterward, enjoy lunch or dinner at one of the many vibrant spots nearby.
Rainbow Row
Just a short stroll from Charleston Waterfront Park, Rainbow Row—a charming stretch of 13 brightly colored historic homes along the waterfront—is one of the city’s most iconic and photographed landmarks. If you're lucky, you might even be able to step inside a few homes like the Edmondston-Alston House and the Nathaniel Russell House close by Rainbow Row for a house tour!
Charleston City Market
Dating back to the 1790s, this historic landmark is one of the oldest public markets in the country. Browse everything from handmade crafts and unique trinkets to jewelry and Charleston’s most treasured souvenir—the sweetgrass basket. Enjoy live entertainment, take in the Southern charm, and soak up the vibrant atmosphere.
Fort Sumter Tours
Board your tour boat from either downtown Charleston or Mount Pleasant and get ready for a scenic ride through the historic harbor. Soak up the Southern sights. Marvel at the landmarks. Then, arrive at Fort Sumter for a self-guided tour covering one of the most pivotal times in American history. After exploring this national park, you've walked the grounds and read the accounts of those who played a role in the Civil War, the most divisive conflict in American history.
Magnolia Plantation and Gardens
Just down the road from Middleton Place lies Magnolia Plantation, South Carolina’s most visited plantation and garden. First welcoming guests in 1870, it holds the title of America's oldest public garden and spans over 600 breathtaking acres.
Fleet Landing Restaurant & Bar
Housed in a 1940s retired naval building on the east side of the Charleston peninsula, Fleet Landing Restaurant features classic and contemporary Southern seafood fare in a setting that celebrates the area’s waterfront heritage. This is our favorite restaurant in the city - we can't visit Charleston without stopping by here for lunch or dinner! (I would be sure to make a reservation in advance.. bonus points for trying their crispy whole fried flounder)
John King Grill & Dueling Piano Bar
Drinks AND dueling pianos every Wednesday - Saturday 8:00 p.m. to 1:00 a.m.? Say less
