3Charleston, South Carolina
While Charleston is often associated with warm-weather getaways, the fall season is one of the best times to visit this historic southern city. The cooler temperatures make exploring the city’s cobblestone streets and antebellum architecture more enjoyable, and the fall foliage adds a beautiful touch to the city’s parks and gardens. Magnolia Plantation & Gardens and Middleton Place are two of the top spots to experience Charleston’s fall beauty. The city’s thriving culinary scene also embraces the flavors of fall, with seasonal dishes and farm-to-table fare taking center stage at many of its restaurants.
