Ranked as a TOP 10 U.S. travel destination for the 14th year straight, Charleston, South Carolina, lives up to its outstanding reputation through its rich heritage and natural beauty.

In "the city where history lives" magnificent formal gardens grace the historic district—consisting of colonial, antebellum, and Victorian architecture—while the surrounding towns each present their own story of the "Lowcountry." Alongside the history of Charleston, one finds a wide range of attractions, culinary offerings, and exceptional shopping, all just minutes from the Charleston Area Convention Center Complex.

Whether touring at a leisurely stroll or by hopping on the convenient DASH trolley system, it is easy to stay green when traveling around downtown. The ancient natural beauty surrounding Charleston provides another great reason to visit the area and serves as a reminder of the environment we need to preserve. Beaches, islands, and wetlands support a diverse ecosystem and provide excellent recreation opportunities.
