South Carolina Small Town Named No. 1 Best
The travel experts at CN Traveler have released their annual Reader’s Choice tally of fantastic spots across the country. They actually tallied up 575,048 votes for their 37th annual Readers’ Choice Awards survey and say they were “struck by both your eagerness to embrace the new and your reverence for tried-and-true classics.” When it comes to their survey of small towns, they note that readers put together this roster of the 10 best small towns in America. “Whether you’re on the lookout for a cutting-edge arts scene, inventive new restaurants, or eye-catching architecture, you’re bound to find the next big new thing in travel,” they note.
So, what’s No. 1 on the tally? It’s Charleston, South Carolina, which readers say has a lot to offer when it comes to history, culture, food and charm. “While its robust food scene, which includes a steady annual circuit of nationally recognized food and culture festivals, continues to be a draw, visitors are rarely prepared for the city’s good looks,” they noted. “Stately homes, cobblestone streets, waterfront views, and an abundance of flowering window boxes only add to its welcoming vibe.” No. 2 is Santa Fe, New Mexico, which they call an “electric” and “historic” town.
According to Explore Charleston, there’s never a loss for things to do in the town. They mention a lot of historical offerings. “Why not stand on the site of the first shot in the Civil War” or “come face to face with a giant sea turtle,” they stated. Other suggestions include taking a tour of an antebellum mansion and climbing aboard a World War II aircraft carrier. “There are so many blossoming gardens, so many photo opportunities and so many reasons to come back to see us again,” they add.
