Book Cheap Flights to Charleston
From the creamier-than-latte South Carolina residents, to the serene and historical old Southern plantation houses, Charleston is the absolute beauty of the South. The only flaw of exploring the city is that so much of its charm comes in its speed and way of life – something that's hard to understand in a short trip.
Major Attractions
The historic market of Charleston City: Travel to this popular flea market in central Charleston and you'll discover everything you need to bring back to all your friends and family. It's open 365 days a year, and offers everything from handmade pottery, Charleston’s iconic sweet-grass baskets to beautiful sculptures, jewellery, souvenirs and more. It's certainly worth finding out.
Shopping in King Street: Yeah, that's King Lane. The lovely street where your wallet is going to cry. This vast retail centre is one of the finest in the country – it has everything from major labels like J. Staff, Vineyard Trees, and Kate Spade to tiny boutiques full of finely selected collections. You can't go wrong wasting a day shopping or just walking down King Street.
Rainbow Row Row: If you're aiming for Charleston’s best Instagram spot, that’s it. This stretch of cute, vibrant houses (which extend from 83 to 107 East Bay Street) is one of the most scenic and historic places in all of Charleston. Situated in the area known as South Broad Street, the prominent 14 houses in a row have been painted in colourful pastels of all the colours of the rainbow since about 1740.
The iconic Ghost Tours of Charleston: Charleston has a fascinating history, and the popular Charleston Ghost Tour is the only route. The real storey of suspense, disaster, and lost love shows the sinister side of Charleston’s character that is not visible throughout the day. The highlight of your trip will be the unique night time entrance to the 18th century United Church Graveyard, where you can witness "something magical".
