Are you up for a great weekend? Look no further than Charleston. There are many weekend activities in Charleston to fall in love with. With stunning architecture, fantastic restaurants, and incredible history, it’s no surprise that this city is among the top weekend destinations.  

Let’s check out a few options that will take your trip to the next level.

Weekend Activities in Charleston

Visit Charleston Museum

Learning the history of this beautiful city makes an ideal first stop. Charleston Museum was opened in 1773 and is the oldest museum in the United States. 

You will learn about the American Civil War and see fascinating exhibits showing the earliest pieces in the museum. Outside the front door is a replica of the first submarine to sink an enemy ship. 

There are also several large, impressive houses around Charleston to explore. A tour of these houses gives you ideas about earlier home design trends and layouts.

Get a Glimpse of the Past with a Carriage Ride

Grab the chance and enjoy the beautiful downtown area by taking a carriage ride on a horse-drawn buggy through the city. The guide will share the city’s history while you appreciate the sights and the architecture. The tours last around an hour, and you will learn much about the city’s history. It is also the best way to get a feel for the city’s layout.

The Boat Trip to Fort Sumter

Fort Sumter is on an island off the coast of Charleston, and the boat ride is magnificent. The tour gives enough time to appreciate the city view from the water. An hour-and-a-half tour of the island will follow it. During the tour, you will have enough time to see the cannons, explore the museum, and probably get a feel of what it was like during the Civil War.

Enjoy the Sunset at Folly Beach

If taking a quick trip out of town doesn’t bother you, go to Folly Beach. The pier gives a magnificent sunset view, and the shoreline is lovely to steal a quick stroll. You can head to Battery Point if you prefer not to travel. Watching the sunset across the river is also splendid.

Conclude your day by getting a sumptuous dinner and an ice-cold drink. What better way to end the day than to savor a mouth-watering meal?

Rich history, preserved exquisite architecture, and fantastic coastal views make Charleston one of the best travel destinations in the country. It also comes with great dining spots and, most of all, friendly locals who are warm and welcoming to encounter.
