Charleston, South Carolina
This is the perfect budget-friendly destination to soak up some Southern charm. Sophisticated Charleston was named the region’s best city by Southern Living magazine.
The fantastic attractions like the Fort Sumter National Monument and Gibbes Museum of Art will give senior discounts. And leisurely strolls along the waterfront and past the charming homes are free of charge.
One of the biggest draws to the location is Spoleto Festival USA. It’s an annual performing arts event from May to June that has always offered 10% off their senior tickets for a few of the performances. But you can save even more by booking early.
If you choose to visit during spring and fall, which are the best times for avoiding the scorching summer heat, accommodations begin at less than $80 per night.
