Five things to see/do in Charleston: Charleston’s claim to fame is its wealth of 18th and 19th century historic buildings, most of which can be found in the central Charleston Historic District.
Charleston has a long tradition of being a military port, and Patriot’s Point is proof of that. Here you’ll be able to tour the aircraft carrier USS Yorktown, which has airplanes and even a submarine.
Don’t miss taking a look at some of Charleston’s historic plantations and mansions, some of which offer tours. Two notable ones are the Drayton Hall, the oldest plantation in the country that’s open to the public, and the beautiful Calhoun Mansion.
The Charleston Aquarium is one of the city’s main attractions and offers visitors diverse displays of marine life and vegetation.
