Charleston
About 150,000 people.
Charleston is South Carolina's oldest and largest city, sitting right where two rivers meet the sea. It is famous for its colorful old houses, cobblestone streets, and a long history that goes back over 300 years.
You can ride a horse-drawn carriage past pastel houses on Rainbow Row, walk out on a pier to see dolphins, and visit the giant aquarium full of sharks and sea turtles.

Historic Downtown
The old part of Charleston is full of pastel houses, church steeples, and open-air markets where sweet-grass baskets are woven by hand.
