Things To Do

King Street Shopping

At more than 300 years old, King Street is the second most historically and architecturally significant street in downtown Charleston after Meeting Street. Now, a revitalized and vibrant King Street boasts some of the city's trendiest restaurants and sophisticated cocktail scenes along with hotels, art galleries, flourishing businesses, and lively nightlife - not to mention some seriously exceptional shopping

Bulldog Tours

Walking through Charleston is the way to know and love her. Bulldog Tours offers a diverse mix of history, culinary, and ghost walking tours and exclusive access to Charleston’s most fascinating places.

EAT!

There are over 300 restaurants in the Charleston area. Some of our favorites are Chubby Fish, Sorelle, Halls Chop House, Felix, Melfi's and Lewis BBQ. We love Felix for dinner or drinks. They have the best Brussel sprouts and mezcal margarita! For dessert, Carmella's Cafe and Dessert Bar or Off Track Ice Cream are our faves!

Rainbow Row

Gibbes Museum of Art

The Gibbes Museum of Art is home to the foremost collection of American art that incorporates the story of Charleston. The Museum connects the city and region’s artistic past to a vibrant contemporary art scene.

Isle of Palms

A great beach about 30 minutes outside of downtown Charleston. Grab a sandwich (and a bottle of frosé) from the Co-Op IOP before heading to the beach!

Charleston Harbor Tours

To get a better view of the Charleston harbor (and maybe even spot some dolphins), consider signing up for a boat tour. Not only will you enjoy some time on the water, you'll also have the chance to learn more about the city's maritime history (many boat captains provide historical commentary throughout their tours). Along the way, you'll likely see some of Charleston's top landmarks, including The Battery, Waterfront Park, the Arthur Ravenel Jr. Bridge and Fort Sumter.

Charleston City Market

While some may say that the Charleston City Market is a bit of a tourist trap, others call it a great glimpse into life in the Old South. It has been a shopping hub since the 1800s and is one of the country's oldest city markets. The market buzzes with residents and visitors alike, perusing stalls loaded with toys, clothes, art, leather goods and regional souvenirs. There are plenty of locally made products for sale at the market, which you can distinguish by a "Certified Authentic: Handmade in Charleston" tile displayed on vendor stations.
