Charleston is by far one of America's most beautiful and hospitable cities.
If you've never been here, at least take a little trip to its neck of the woods.
Charleston is a city overflowing with romance,rich in history, tradition,
and Southern culture.
Nearly 4 million visitors a year consider the greater Charleston area as their
destination of choice, which is no suprise after taking into account its reputation
for outstanding accommodations, entertainment, and cuisine.
Any journey into the soul of the Old South must begin in Charleston.
One stroll down Broad Street at dusk, the sea breeze rustling gently
through the palm trees, you will swear you hear the clop, clop, clop of
horse hoofs on the cobblestones amidst layers of voices rising up from
the centuries. Even if you are a first-time visitor to the historic city, Charleston's nagging familiarity, that sense of dejа vu, hangs over you.
You think the familiarity may come from the history books depicting its
heyday in the unfolding of American history. Or, perhaps from Dubose
Heyward's lyrical descriptions of Catfish Row in his best selling novel,
Porgy. Or, maybe it is the array of starring roles the city has played
in movies such as Gone with the Wind, North and South and The Patriot,
to name just a few.
