Charleston map.
So much to see, so little time. A good city map is a must.
Walking tours
Carriage tours
The area around Marion Square and south of Calhoun Street
is the historic district. You can walk it yourself in an afternoon,
but I recommend studying a little of the history so
you'll better appreciate the area, and take along a guidebook.
I also recommend walking tours. Unless you have a physical infirmity, they are
a much better way to experience the historic section than carriage tours.
And they don't smell.

Savannah Squares
The 'Squares' the thing. You will enjoy your walking so much more if you have some idea
beforehand of the history and geography (including popular culture - don't forget
Forest Gump and Chippewa Square). Savannah's historic area is larger than Charleston's,
so allow plenty of time - don't try to see everything on one stroll.
Carriage tours
Walking tours
As in Charleston, there many walking and carriage tours available. Unless you
have a physical infirmity, go with the walking tours. A much better way to see the city.
