If you’re looking for a laid back, relaxing vacation without the crowds and noise of a big city, then Charleston, South Carolina might just be the place for you. I’ve traveled to this charming city a couple of times and while it’s known for its rich history, beautiful architecture, and southern hospitality, it’s also a city that is accessible in many places.

Historic Charleston

Keep in mind, this is an historic city, founded in 1670, so there are cobblestone streets in some areas, buildings that are not accessible, and sidewalks which may be narrow or in disrepair.  You should also know that it is difficult to find accessible taxis in Charleston.  I was able to find one company, Absolute Charleston Taxi and Limousine Service, which had an accessible/adapted van for airport transfers and local transportation.  Other than this company, you’re left with public transportation.  You will find accessible hotels, such as the Hyatt House Charleston in the Historic District.  This is a great location close to restaurants and other attractions.  I look forward to returning to Charleston for a relaxing and quiet vacation. 

Here are some of my recommendations for an easy and accessible trip to this beautiful city.
