2. Charleston, South Carolina

Via dataw.org

Charleston is the South’s historic architectural marvel. It’s a place where the streets are still made of cobblestone and ancient townhouses in Easter egg shades stand lazily under palm trees. As if that weren’t enough, it’s right on the ocean so plenty of sandy beaches abound. Charleston is a prime destination for anybody interested in neocolonial architecture, incredible Southern food and amazing shopping. It was recently voted the top city in the U.S. in a poll ran by Condé Nast Traveler.
