| Charleston Travel Guide for backpackers |
| Horse drawn carriages on cobblestone streets, gracious country mansions, and the perfume of Jasmine scenting the air is what Charleston is all about. The Old South is thriving in Charleston, and it has an even larger number of historical buildings than Boston. There are modern shops available, in low key profile, but absolutely no sky scrapers. |

 DAILY BUDGET in CHARLESTON - US$50 a day will buy the backpacker hostel accommodation and self catering options, and very little else, but US$ 100 per day will make life a whole lot more bearable, with cheap hotels, some restaurant food, and even leave a little
over for sightseeing. |
