South Carolina has been home for AnneMarie since 2001. Her favorite part of the state is Lake Jocassee. An App State alumna, it's always the mountains; the lake bonus makes it heavenly. When not writing about the state, she may be spending time with family, relaxing by the pool, or out somewhere enjoying nature.
As local travel experts, we know what travelers are looking for when it comes to finding the perfect accommodations for their next trip. To compile our lists, we scour the internet to find properties with excellent ratings and reviews, desirable amenities, nearby attractions, and that something special that makes a destination worthy of traveling for.
Part of the charm of the city of Charleston is found in its old churches interspersed throughout the enchanting landscape. Multiple steeples are easily observed in almost any aerial view of Charleston. Some may not even realize that Charleston is also known as “The Holy City,” a nickname whose origin is not known for certain. There are rumors and legends, and certainly, it could be simply because of the abundance of established churches totaling over 400! Delve into this part of the city’s history with a weekend itinerary we’ve put together for you, beginning with overnight accommodations at the best hotel in Charleston, SC, the HarbourView Inn, for this getaway.
Book your HarbourView Inn stay at TripAdvisor.com and be sure to purchase your Historic Charleston Churches Tour tickets in advance as they often sell out. A reservation at each of these restaurants may reduce your wait time depending on when you go.
Have you had any experiences at any of these places in Charleston or spent time learning about or seeing the historic churches?
