C - Things to do in the Spring/Summer

New to Charleston A to Z?  Read this first

One of the many carriages rolling through
downtown Charleston everyday.








Carriage Rides - My first introduction to Charleston was on a historical carriage ride downtown during my honeymoon.  The lingering images from that trip are part of what made me direct my hopes toward MUSC (Medical University of South Carolina in Charleston) as my wife was applying for residency.  I’m not sure if born and bred Charlestonians enjoy the carriage rides (let us know if you do), but for a newbie like me it was a good way to get up to speed on the rich historical landscape of Charleston.  It’s also a unique way to show off the city to visitors.


There are many companies that offer these tours and they cost around $15/person, give or take a few dollars.  Here's a  link to some of the carriage companies.


Do you enjoy the carriage rides downtown, or do you have a C activity that you think is better?
