I have been to Charleston 3x before this and I noticed that the sidewalks and many of the grand houses are in disrepair. It’s a walkable port but be very careful on the cobblestones. Lots are broken.
I typically walk on Meeting street to church street as this street has beautiful houses all on historic registry. They have signs re the original owners. Walking on the sea walk offers great views of fort sumpter and the bridge.
Near the ships dock watch for the dolphins.
Don’t waste your money on the horse drawn carriage. It 50 usd per person. Instead take the free dash bus.
Most of the historic houses that have been turned into museums and are over 15 usd to enter and no discount for seniors.
Food and souvenirs are expensive and most made in China. The local sweet grass baskets are over $100, and painted oyster shells are $50.
For me Charleston has lost its shine. Perhaps that is why they are trying to ban cruise ships.
Hope this helps
Marcia
