The cobblestone streets and horse-drawn carriages are a hallmark of the city, as are pastel antebellum houses and the harbor. Waterfront Park and the Battery promenade are great places to stroll by the harbor. Fort Sumter, a federal stronghold, is a must-see, as this was where the Civil War was started.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The climate in Charleston is moderate year-round. Temperatures are pleasant throughout the year, but the peak seasons are spring and fall. The city is most beautiful in early spring, and it is not yet hurricane season. The climate is cool, which is ideal for walking. If you want to be in the heart of the historic district, fall is a great time to visit. You will enjoy the cool fall temperatures and fewer crowds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The city is a popular destination in the United States. There is a large selection of restaurants and shops, as well as a world-class museum. And if you&#8217;re planning a vacation to this picturesque city, don&#8217;t forget to take in some culture. There is no shortage of things to do in Charleston, and you&#8217;re bound to have a great time. If you&#8217;re looking for a getaway with a splash of Southern charm, try a downtown hotel in Charleston.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The summer months are hot and humid, but if you&#8217;re traveling in Charleston during these months, you&#8217;ll be glad to know that you&#8217;re not alone. It is easy to find people who are willing to help you out in Charleston, and most people speak English quite well. Learn some basic phrases in advance so that you can get by without being lost. A travel phrasebook is the best thing to have with you. If you don&#8217;t speak the language, it will help you communicate effectively with the locals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The city&#8217;s history is rich, and there&#8217;s an abundance of restaurants that cater to tourists. Whether you&#8217;re looking for seafood, steak, or a burger, you&#8217;ll find a meal to suit your taste. If you&#8217;re visiting Charleston during the summer, you&#8217;ll also want to check out Folly Beach, a low-key town outside of the city. Many locals prefer to spend their summers in the town&#8217;s picturesque beaches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Charleston&#8217;s streets are full of thugs and transients. Be aware that you&#8217;ll encounter these types of people if you visit the city&#8217;s streets, especially Meeting Street. Fortunately, there&#8217;s an abundance of other places to enjoy the city&#8217;s attractions and sights, but it&#8217;s a shame to be burgled by crime. Despite the city&#8217;s relatively low crime rate, the thugs will not hesitate to take advantage of you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Founded in 1670, the port city of Charleston, South Carolina, is a popular destination for visitors.
