Autumn in the CITY

Charleston Charm

The past and present blend smoothly in South Carolina’s largest city, with enough alluring history and modern entertainment to capture anyone’s imagination. A dazzling food scene thrives in Charleston; whether newer ventures like Wild Common and Tradd’s or tried-and-true favorites such as Husk Restaurant and McCrady’s Tavern, the choices are unlimited. Antiques to jewelry to clothing and more, shops abound and collectors will be thrilled with the many options to explore. Relish the historical richness of the Battery with a walk on the southernmost tip of the city’s peninsula, enjoy a horse-drawn carriage tour of downtown’s cobblestone streets, or get a glimpse of 19th-century life at the Nathaniel Russell House, with its incredible free-floating spiral staircase.
