The Most Visited City In South Carolina
It has a little bit of everything. It was founded in 1670, and it’s one of the world’s most beautiful cities. Welcome to Charleston, South Carolina.
According to our friends at Explore Charleston, this city has a rich 300-year history; Charleston today is America’s most beautifully preserved architectural and historical treasure. The city’s past is a testament to the spirit and tenacity of its citizens. Its appeal has been described as a “living museum.” As Charleston native Elizabeth O’Neill Verner once said, “It is impossible for me to enter Charleston from any side, whether by land or by sea and not feel that here the land is precious; here is a place worth keeping…”
If you’re looking for the best history, scenery, and food, this is your go-to place in South Carolina. According to the College of Charleston School of Business, more than 7 million tourists annually visit the city.
This is a foodie’s paradise with some of the best places to eat that you’ll find anywhere. Charleston is known for its shrimp and grits, which may be the area’s top dish. Also, its proximity to area beaches makes this the best place to visit for a day or weekend or do what many people do and move here to experience Charleston every day.
The only downside I can find about Charleston is the traffic, but that is a small price to pay for all of the things Charleston offers. I would recommend a stay downtown and exploring the city, with so many beautiful churches and historic homes. Rainbow Row along the Battery has breathtaking homes that date back to 1740.
Plan your visit soon and enjoy this one-of-a-kind historic city, and you’ll find out why over 7 million tourists choose Charleston every year.
