Things to do in Charleston
Charleston is the South's great historic city: the Battery mansions, the gardens, the harbor, the food. Beautiful, walkable, and delicious.

The historic core
Waterfront Park
The Pineapple Fountain, the pier, the sunset. The city's living room.
History
Fort Sumter
Where the Civil War began: the ferry from Liberty Square, the ranger talks. The essential history.
Middleton Place
The great plantation: the gardens (America's oldest landscaped), the house, the honest history.
The beach
Folly Beach
The edge of America: the surf, the pier, the tacos. The Charleston beach day.
