San Juan, Puerto Rico.
Charleston has been the scene of numerous and varied historic "firsts." The first decisive American victory during the Revolution occurred at the Battle of Fort Sullivan. The first regularly scheduled passenger train service in America was established here in 1830. The initial shots of the Civil War were fired on Union troops stationed at Fort Sumter in Charleston Harbor. Charleston is equally acclaimed for its contributions to the arts and humanities, and is often viewed as a "living museum." Its singular appeal has been recognized by readers of CondÈ Nast Traveler, who have named the city a "Top 10" domestic destination for nine consecutive years, and by Marjabelle Young Stewart, who named Charleston the "most mannerly" city in America. — Charleston Area Convention & Visitors Bureau
