I was born and raised in Charleston. Here are the 10 biggest mistakes I see tourists make when they visit.
Briefly

When you explore the city’s complex history, be respectful and thoughtful. Popular attractions like Rainbow Row only scratch the surface of Charleston's rich past.
Acknowledge the historical significance of places like plantations, as this land has deep ties to slavery, with 40% of enslaved Africans passing through Charleston.
Charleston's dining scene is distinct and should be experienced at locally owned restaurants. Support these authentic places for a better culinary adventure.
For a well-rounded experience, tourists should venture beyond downtown Charleston, exploring the larger city and natural attractions like Shem Creek or Sullivan's Island.
