Charleston, South Carolina is often described as a living postcard: cobblestone streets, pastel-colored homes, and aromas of seafood drifting from historic taverns. With just 48 hours, you can get a taste—literally—of this Southern gem’s charm.
Start with a stroll through the Charleston City Market, where artisans sell sweetgrass baskets and southern treats. For lunch, try she-crab soup at a traditional restaurant downtown. In the afternoon, wander through Rainbow Row and Waterfront Park for photo-worthy spots.
Make reservations early: Husk and FIG are two restaurants known nationwide. Sample shrimp and grits or fried oysters paired with local craft beer.
Morning: Head out to Middleton Place or Magnolia Plantation for gardens and antebellum history. Afternoon: explore King Street boutiques and sip coffee at a cozy café. End your weekend with sunset views from the Battery promenade.
Two days in Charleston will leave you craving more. Its combination of food, architecture, and southern hospitality is unforgettable.
