Explore the historic homes and mansions in the neighborhood called South of Broad. Tradd Street is a great place to start. Charleston is not that big, so it's not hard to see a lot on foot without getting too tired. If you're in Charleston in the summer, however, do your exploring early before it gets too hot and humid.

Grab a picnic lunch and head to the beach. Sullivan's is the closest beach to downtown--it's about a 15- to 20-minute drive (or Uber ride).

This Southern Live Oak is estimated at nearly 500 years old! It's just one of the iconic things to do in Charleston...but it's not actually in Charleston. It's not too far, though. It's about a 20- to 25-minute drive from downtown out to Johns Island.
