Charleston, South Carolina, is gorgeous. It is one of the few cities we have visited as a couple, and been blown away by how quaint, pretty and very romantic it is. Surprisingly, in a relatively small city, there are many things to do.
Years back, we first visited Charleston with our two teenagers. We were travelling the world as a family, and Charleston was high on the list of places.
We had heard that this little city in South Carolina was one of the most beautiful destinations in the world, and we weren’t disappointed.
Whoever wrote that stat was spot on.

Attractions, Charleston SC
Charleston is full of attractions for all ages and needs.
On our first visit, we found so many things to do in Charleston with kids (and, being with two teenagers who didn’t get out of bed until lunchtime, we found the best things to do in Charleston at night).
But whenever we got time on our own and weren’t looking for fun things to do with the family, we couldn’t help but notice the romantic side of Charleston, SC.
The things that couples want to do alone. Together. Loved up.
So. Without further ado, here are seven of our favourite activities for you romantic couples who are looking for ways to enjoy one of the world’s most unique travel destinations: the beautiful city of Charleston, South Carolina.
