Charleston

Few cities are more lovely, more genteel, more downright Southern than Charleston, South Carolina. What’s not to love about a picturesque place full of historic landmarks, gracious homes, and charming inns? A spring visit to Charleston is ideal, with the temperatures warm but bearable and perfect for a walking tour or a carriage ride through the city. You’ll notice the pace is a little slower and the people are a little nicer than what you're probably used to; combine that with the blooming flowers, fantastic restaurants, upscale shopping, and a plethora of beach and golf options nearby and chances are you’ll wish your weekend break was a lot longer.
