Charleston's historic City Market, dating back to the 1790s, offers a glimpse into the city's past with its brick buildings and local vendors selling sweetgrass baskets. Just a short walk away, the College of Charleston's campus is a peaceful spot for a stroll, with its live oaks and historic architecture. For a taste of local cuisine, try the she-crab soup at 82 Queen, a dish that captures the essence of Lowcountry flavors. The Ravenel Bridge, connecting Charleston to Mount Pleasant, is a modern marvel worth a walk for its panoramic views of the harbor. Nearby, the South Carolina Aquarium offers an engaging look at the region's marine life, including a touch tank and a 385,000-gallon Great Ocean Tank. Don't miss a visit to the historic Fort Sumter, accessible by ferry, where the first shots of the Civil War were fired.
