The most historic city in America, downtown Charleston is uniquely Southern in character, proudly American in spirit, yet somewhat European in lifestyle. With the last half century bringing restoration and rebirth to the city, its majestic beauty turns the heads of the most sophisticated suitors looking for the graciousness of a gone era, yet offering all the amenities of the 21st century.
Today the streets of the "holy city" reflect both. Where cannons once rang out across the harbor announcing the beginning of the Civil War, a sea of sailboats now drift across still blue waters. Where Red Coats once marched to lay siege to the city, Spoleto Festival U.S.A. explodes with dance, music, theater, and visual arts events each Spring to rave reviews from an international contingency.
Of special interest are the meticulously restored antebellum mansions that line the peninsular city overlooking Charleston Harbor, with a view of Fort Sumter and the Atlantic Ocean beyond. A stroll along the promenade that traces the tip of this neighborhood grants all takers a salty sea breeze through their hair and the soothing sound of lapping waves mingling with that of horse hooves clopping on cobblestone streets in the distance.
Just a short walk from the most prestigious "South of Broad" neighborhood, the city offers the grandest of adventures. Literally dozens of fine restaurants, featuring everything from the area's own Low Country cuisine to about anything imaginable, tempt the most discriminating taste buds. Out-of-the-ordinary shopping abounds, whether it's browsing the famed King Street Antiques District, selecting upscale clothing and jewelry from the Shops at Charleston Place or haunting one of the city's many fine arts galleries. And arts activities, from the ballet to the theater to the symphony, fill the social calendars of even the most culturally inclined.
