Head over to the Aquarium just north of downtown (signs everywhere), there you can do several things often in a package deal. The new aquarium is a worthwhile stop as well as taking in the Harbor Cruise, which gives you a great perspective from the water. Next door to the Aquarium is the IMAX theater.

Charelston is a fantastic city to walk around. The main historic residential district is South of Broad Street toward the Battery. You can walk the miles of streets lined with gorgeous restored homes going back to the early 1700's. Stop at Battery Park and check out the view of the harbor and Fort Sumter. Place never ceases to surprise! At the park is a plague where they hung the Pirate Stede Bonnet who helped Blackbeard try to take the city. Or just a few yards away take one on many tours of antellum era homes open to the public along the waterfront.

See it from horse and carriage view, which is a must. Head over to the old market north on East Bay Street and get on a carriage tour (Red Sashed folks are best) of the city.

Besides the fantastic restaurants already listed (Hyman's definitely worth the trip), check out the Confederate Submarine, the Hunley at the conservatory on the old Naval base. I believe its still on display.

Charleston for me is one of those great hidden treasures rich in history and culture that is absolutely beautiful. So much to do and see, but your lucky as three months should be about right to take it all in................

enjoy
