Charleston is America's most beautifully preserved architectural and historic treasure, with a rich, 300 year heritage just waiting to be discovered!
Charleston is equally acclaimed for its contributions to the arts and humanities, and is often viewed as a "living museum". What better place to present Spoleto Festival USA, the world's most comprehensive arts festival, than the city that inspired Gershwin to compose his classic opera "Porgy and Bess?" Charleston's singular appeal has been recognized by the readers of "Conde' Nast Traveler," who named the city a "Top Ten" domestic destination, and by Marjabelle Young Stewart, who named Charleston the "most mannerly" city in America.
Charleston is a city of celebration... there's sure to be a festival or special event occurring during your visit! Some of the most widely-known include the Southeastern Wildlife Exposition, the Annual Festival of Houses and Gardens, Spoleto Festival USA, the Charleston Maritime Festival, the Fall candlelight Tour Of Homes, the MOJA Festival and Christmas in Charleston. Numerous other events highlighting the arts and Charleston's diverse cultural heritage are held throughout the year.
Visitors to Charleston are constantly amazed at the quality and variety of restaurants that can be enjoyed. These range from southern-style to five-star French and everything in between! Local cuisine traditionally includes fresh local seafood. Be sure to try two of our perennial favorites, roasted oysters and shrimp and grits.
You're sure to find Charleston to be a destination unlike any other. The only thing you won't find is a shortage of interesting things to see, do and experience! And with Charleston only 20 minutes away from your vacation spot of Kiawah, you can try something new each day of your stay.
