General
South Carolina reflects a part of the darkhistory of the United States. The southern states build theire wealth, huge farms and local emipres on using slaves as a cheap labour. I assume you may said that every nations has their skeleton in their closet.This dark history should not prevent you from visiting the charming southerns states. They has a lot to offer, and we would like to bring you presentation of one of the most beautyfull city in the region - Charleston. This beatyfull city is located on seaside. It has many historical buildings from 1700- and 1800 centurie.
The reason why we pick Charleston as or favorit is the combination of location, atmosphere, the markeds, the historic buildings and the surrounding area. You may spend several days here, make daytrips to nearby attractions. When we was visiting the southern states, Charleston was not a planed destination. We arrived there as a stroke of luck. Now for you it might be different.
Now rember that the US history is not as old as the european, so this area reflect an important monument of their history. Of course when visiting the southern east coast, you should also visit Williamsburg (http://www.history.org/), a villages that is like a live museum. If you are interestet in the US independent history, Williamsburg is a natural choice.
Now, just a small detail - Williamsburg is located in the neighbouring state Virgina.Now back to Charleston. Its location in beatyfull surruondings by the seaside, whith beatyfull parks, historic south state buildings and many interesting sites to visit in a few kilometer drive.
What to do
The main part of your stay should be to feel the atmosphere of the city. Take a walk in the beatyfull parks, view the old historical buildings, sit down on to pirs that runs far out in the ocean. Their is also local marked that sell lots of local art, item, juvellry, clothes an so on.
You should also visit sorrunding atrraction like an historic like Fort Moultrie (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fort_Moultrie) and many other sites. Please take a look at the following link that should provide you whith a weeklong "to do" list. http://www.sciway.net/tourism/chashistoric.html
Where to stay
To find accommodation is not a problem in the US as there are a lot of roadside motels. To put it simple - you get what you pay for. If you are a member of a car owners club (like AAA) you normally get discount on every motel. Remeber to bring at card that has an AAA freindship logo. Some of the houses in Charleston offers B&B. It is quite expensive, but if you can afford it a stay in the city would be recommendable.
