10 Best American Cities to Vacation In
5. Charleston, South Carolina
Consistently ranked the friendliest city in the US, last year Charleston also won best city all around from the annual Conde Nast Traveler Magazine’s reader poll. Its historic district features cobblestone streets that can be explored on foot or by horse drawn carriage tours, and it is chock full of great restaurants featuring the uniquely regional “low country” cuisine. King Street is one of the last great local shopping streets in the country, not taken by chain stores. Nearby islands including Ft. Sumter, Kiawah, Folly’s, and Isle of Palms are all worth visiting. Must-to-do things in Charleston are as follows: Try local specialty shrimp and grits, attend an oyster roast, take a tour of historic downtown, take a plantation tour, and Patriot’s Point Naval & Maritime Museum.
