The historic center of the port city was established in 1670, and it is known for its cobblestone streets, pastel antebellum homes, and horse-drawn carriages. The Battery promenade and Waterfront Park overlook the harbor and the first shots of the Civil War. You can walk through the old fort to get a feel for the antebellum era, or see the Fort Sumter, a federal stronghold, which was used as a battleground during the war.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are planning to spend some time in the city, be sure to visit the historic White Point Gardens and the Battery. This area is one of the most photogenic spots in the city. Clare&#8217;s expert tip is to grab a baguette sandwich at Fast &amp; French on Broad Street. While you&#8217;re here, take some time to relax and slow down and enjoy the southern way of life. It&#8217;s worth your time!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Located in the historic district of Charleston, Gibbes Museum of Art is a must-see while in the city. It is home to some of the country&#8217;s finest collections of American art and was founded in 1858. The museum&#8217;s upcoming exhibition, Fighters for Freedom: William H. Johnson Picturing Justice, is a tribute to African American activists, scientists, and others who worked for freedom. Whether you&#8217;re looking for a tidal pool or a giant sandbar, this is the place to be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The city of Charleston is known for its foodie culture. Try the local cuisine at some of the famous restaurants in town, such as Wild Common tasting menu, Fig, Hank&#8217;s Seafood Restaurant, Halls Chophouse, and Coastal Kitchen. You&#8217;ll be treated to a traditional Charleston meal in each of these establishments, which includes fried green tomatoes, shrimp and grits, and she-crab soup. All of this is served with a side of sweet tea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The city&#8217;s history is a major draw. It was the first capital of the United States. It has an interesting and rich coastline and varied landscape. The shores of Folly Beach and the marshes of Shem Creek are among the most popular beaches in the city. The city is also home to some of the best seafood in the southeast. In addition, the historical monuments of Charleston are worth a visit. If you want to experience some culture, check out the renowned King Street.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The city is home to the largest plantation in the state. The plantation was established in 1681, and now is home to many historic buildings. The historic plantation is famous for its 3\/4 mile oak alley. The avenue of the trees is a natural corridor made up of massive rows of oak trees. The city&#8217;s iconic scenes include the gazebo at the foot of the Battery. You can also take a walk along the waterfront, while enjoying the scenic harbor.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Visit the historic port city of Charleston, South Carolina.
