NOLA or Charleston?

[Deleted]

4 days in Nov.
We love NOLA and were there last year in Nov.
We haven't been to Charleston, but my H is worried he's be bored to death.
How much is there to do in Charleston?

I've never been to Charleston but I worry that you may go through it easily in 2 days

NOLA is a better choice for a 4 day trip IMO

Super easy to spend 4 days in Charleston, but it depends on what you like to do. I think of NOLA as more of a party city. Please don't flame me for this, but I think of Charleston as a more historic/refined type of place.

Charleston....carriage tours, lots of historic houses, plantations, boat cruises, aquarium, USS Yorktown, etc. It's also a fun place to just walk around.

We just got back from Charleston. If you are the type of person who likes to do a ton of stuff then you would probably be bored after 4 days. We walked around downtown, took a carriage ride and went shopping. That took up about a whole day. We spent an entire day on Folly Beach. Plantation tours are also popular, which would take up an afternoon. I read on trip advisor that the aquarium is boring for how much it costs so we skipped that.

I really liked Charleston and spent 4 days there for work this spring. I feel like I hardly got to see the city at all (again, work got in the way) but it was very lovely and fun and beautiful. I think we went to one restaurant/bar called the library? It is a roof top bar. Really fun and casual, great place to take in a sunset one night
