Charleston Travel Tips

1. The Ashley River runs through Charleston, but several bridges around town make it easy to get around. Take note that some bridges are one-way. 

2. Bring allergy medicine. The city loves plants and flowers, and although they are gorgeous, the pollen they release may cause sneezing or watery eyes.
