It's hard to feel cynical in this gardenia-scented confection of a city, with its rainbow rowhouses, ornate churches, riverside parks and tucked-away cafes. Founded in 1670, Charleston was once one of the most important ports in America. These days, around four million tourists hit the well-preserved downtown every year.
For the history, the culture, and the ocean.
