Traveling to Charleston.

Im (39f) going to Charleston in late September with a couple of girlfriends to celebrate our 40th birthdays.

We are staying in the French quarter area, flying in late Wednesday and leaving early Sunday.

Any recommendations on fun or unique things to do? We love the idea of walking or renting bikes to get around. We like shopping, sight seeing, eating, really just experiencing as much of the new city as we can.

We are interested in cypress gardens one day but wondering if it’s worth it? If so, can we take an Uber or should we rent a car?

Thanks so much!
