เสียงบรรยายนำเที่ยว Charleston ทัวร์เดินชม

The Battery Walk starts at the Pineapple Fountain in Waterfront Park, passes the colonial Exchange and the pastel houses of Rainbow Row, and follows the seawall promenade of the Battery to the oaks of White Point Garden, with Fort Sumter visible out in the harbor the whole way. It finishes up Meeting Street at St Michael's Church, at the crossing known as the Four Corners of Law. It covers 2.1 kilometers, about 29 minutes, over 7 stops, entirely flat.

The City Market Walk starts at the Old Slave Mart, the last known building in South Carolina where enslaved people were auctioned, then heads through the long sheds of the City Market, past one of the oldest synagogues in the country and the church known as Mother Emanuel, across Marion Square, and finishes at the Aiken-Rhett House, preserved rather than restored. It runs 2.6 kilometers, about 37 minutes, over 7 stops, mostly in a straight line up Meeting Street.

The two walks sit on either side of Broad Street and together cover both how Charleston grew rich and who paid the price for it. Morning or late afternoon suits both best, since the Battery's seawall has no shade and Meeting Street's is patchy, and either walk leaves plenty of time to sit for a while in White Point Garden or Marion Square along the way.
