Charleston
in South Carolina

Stunning, colourful stucco houses pepper the oak-lined streets, and the food is some of the best in the U.S. It's about time you checked it out.

culture

Built on raised pylons to protect the hallowed ground of Gadsden’s Wharf – where an estimated 40% of enslaved Africans forced into America first arrived – the museum is a powerful place to reckon with Charleston’s dark history. Wander through nine galleries tracing the African American journey, from the transatlantic experience to Gullah Geechee culture. Tickets often sell out fast, so do book ahead.
