10) Charleston, South Carolina
Known as the Holy City, much of the beautiful architecture of the historic district of Charleston, South Carolina dates back to colonial times. Founded in 1670 as Charles Town in honor of King Charles II of England, Charleston is a charming and sophisticated city chock full of churches and heritage attractions.
The old cobbled streets of Charleston and the touristy horse-drawn carriages evoke an England of years gone by while the wide, lazy verandas of the old houses and warm humid air remind visitors they are in the America South.
