9) Charleston, South Carolina
Visiting a southern city is usually quite cost-efficient, and Charleston is a charming southern city. If you love an old-world, antique feel, you’ll be enamored with its cobblestone streets, old mansions, eerie cemeteries, horse-drawn carriages, gas lamp-lit streets, Spanish moss trees and beautiful antebellum architecture. Relish in times of old while you explore this preserved piece of history.
Charleston offers a bit of the new as well: these days you’ll find contemporary restaurants and art galleries, upscale shopping, innovative building designs and more among its usual sights. There is plenty to do in and around this small town, including visiting a local City Crafts market, strolling through a museum, or spending the day beachside. Travelers choose Charleston for its leisurely days and nights. Since the city has so many quaint bed and breakfast accommodations, it might be a less expensive option than the hotels, and you will likely receive more personalized attention.
