This historic market complex is located right where it should be- in the heart of downtown Charleston. Here you can get in some of the best shopping you'll find in the entire area, and do it inside of the 200-year old brick market buildings. The selection of local goods and heritage crafts is quite eclectic, sea grass baskets and spices being some of these. There are also plenty of restaurants to check out if you work up an appetite, and this is also a great place to begin your City Walk Sightseeing
The Charleston Harbor is a popular area that houses plenty of tourist attractions including the South Carolina Aquarium, making this a great choice to visit since for its proximity to other famous venues.

This park stretches for about a half mile along the Cooper River in Charleston. It is lined up and down with beautiful walking paths, benches, trees and stunning fountains. Some of the best parts of this area besides the iconic fountains are the wooden piers that extend into the Cooper River and make for great picnic or sightseeing areas.
