HISTORIC CHARLESTON
Church steeples, cobblestones, historic plaques, hitching posts, gas lanterns, piazzas, pocket gardens, and public parks—these are the hallmarks of downtown Charleston, the unmistakable elements of one of the most photographed and beloved cities in America.
While the trappings are historic, modern vitality courses across the peninsula and the result is a series of micro districts, each with decidedly unique character. The intimate urban environment of easily navigable streets invites discovery; so take a walk and discover the splendor of modern Charleston. Start South of Broad and watch a glorious sunrise over the harbor from the seawall on High Battery. Wander past antebellum mansions and tour house museums for a taste of the colonial life in the heart of the historic district, and discover the French Quarter Art Gallery District, where colorful canvases beckon from scores of windows and storefronts.

MOUNT PLEASANT
Founded as a shing hamlet, the town of Mount Pleasant—situated to the east of the Charleston peninsula, is still very much married to the water.
Directly beneath the soaring Arthur Ravenel Jr. Bridge is Memorial Waterfront Park, where the large covered pavilion hosts moonlight mixers and concerts during the warmer months. Nearby, the U.S.S. Yorktown, the aircraft carrier-turned-naval museum, houses the Medal of Honor Museum in its hangar bay. Also close by is the 2,200-foot boardwalk at Shem Creek Park, which gives visitors a chance to stroll past shrimp boats and watch local fishermen haul in the daily catch. Shem Creek stands at one end of the Old Village, site of Mt. Pleasant’s earliest homes, and the Otis Pickett Bridge Recreation Area sits at the opposite end. A very pleasant bicycle ride through this tree-lined neighborhood connects the two.

Traveling to Sullivan’s Island is a sea island introduction to Lowcountry history.
Beautiful homes that were built nearly a century ago blend seamlessly with newer family residences.

Edgar Allen Poe penned his short story “The Gold Bug” while stationed at Ft. Moultrie. The Sullivan’s Island Lighthouse signals the entrance to Charleston Harbor, where pleasure boats and cargo ships glide into the channel from the Atlantic Ocean. After a day on the beach drop in at the local cantina for some tacos + tequila, or dine al fresco with the family on Middle Street. Sullivan’s Island promises that time spent here is time well remembered.

BERKELEY COUNTY
From picturesque golf courses, boating, and kayaking to camping and biking, with easy access to beautiful lakes, rivers, and a national forest, it’s easy to see why Berkeley County is the Lowcountry's headquarters for outdoor fun and adventure.
Berkeley County’s roots date back to the late 1600s, when English settlers and Huguenots moved to the area. Over the centuries, Berkeley County’s boundary lines changed more than once. It wasn’t until the late 1800s that the County’s current boundary lines were determined. Famous for its Revolutionary War connections, not only serving as the setting for 32 of the war’s 166 battle sites, but also two prominent military leaders: General Francis Marion and General William Moultrie. In the past decade, Berkeley County has continued to build on its rich history and promise through smart and focused growth, both residentially and commercially. Still being penned, the story of Berkeley County is both distinctive and bright and one both current and future generations alike can take pride in.

TOURS WITH A TWIST
AFRICAN AMERICAN TOURS
African American history has shaped the city we know today. There are many African American tours offered where you can learn about the lives and contributions of enslaved people, the Civil Rights Movement in Charleston, and the unique culture and art derived from African American traditions still alive today. The long-awaited International African American Museum is scheduled to open in January 2023.
CULINARY TOURS
Go behind the scenes with some of Charleston’s best chefs on a culinary tour. Learn the history of Lowcountry cuisine. Sip savory cocktails and get a taste of the vibrant and varied food scene in Charleston.
STUDENT TOURS
Home to multiple colleges and universities, Charleston integrates education into every part of our experience from history to hospitality to art and culture, to marine biology cruises and archeology digs. We’ve got something to see, do and taste for every educational group.
MILITARY TOURS
From the Continental Army’s admirable efforts during the Revolutionary War to the first shot fired in the Civil War, the Charleston area has a legacy of military milestones, including the first combat submarine to sink a warship, and the Citadel, the military college founded in 1843.
CHRISTMAS IN CHARLESTON
See how Charleston’s most storied residences deck the halls, discover holiday traditions passed down from our city’s earliest families and hum along with Gullah spirituals and holiday tunes. Immerse yourself in Charleston’s history and holiday spirit with a holiday tour
RELIGIOUS HERITAGE
When you look out over the Charleston skyline, you see a horizon dotted with steeples and palmetto trees. With over 400 places of worship of different denominations throughout the city and a long history of religious tolerance, it’s easy to see why Charleston truly is “The Holy City.”
ECO -TOURS
The Lowcountry is home to beaches, marshes, river ways and islands just waiting to be explored. If you’re eager to catch a dolphin sighting or see all of the creatures that call the rich estuaries home, these eco-tours are for you.

by motorcoach. Due to the unique and sensitive nature of the Old and

route for large buses. This route is shown on the map provided. We ask that you fill out an application to request permits prior to visiting the Historic District. Our Tourism staff will review the information you provide and will issue permits with the best route, loading/unloading zones and parking for your specific needs. This program is in place so that you as an operator and your guests have
enjoyable experience while visiting Charleston. We all rely on GPS, but its use in the area can lead you to streets that are far too narrow to safely navigate. The city has released an interactive map for motorcoaches that will help you get to your destinations without the use of GPS.
