Charleston, South Carolina's port city founded in 1670, is defined by its cobblestone streets, horse-drawn carriages and prewar pastel houses, particularly in the elegant French Quarter and Battery districts.

A well-preserved Southern beauty, Charleston embodies the romantic notion of the Old South, with its aristocratic homes surrounded by lush foliage and its atmospheric brick streets.

A walk or horse-drawn carriage ride through the Historic District, with its verandah mansions and slender church towers, makes it easy to see why Gone with the Wind's heroine chose to live in Charleston.

Gorgeous historic homes, churches and other buildings line the streets, and a carriage ride is one of the most romantic things to do in Charleston, especially at night.

Along with historic homes, plantations and museums, Charleston's tourist attractions include the USS Yorktown aircraft carrier.
