Getting Around

The historic areas are easy to explore on foot or by bus. There are also tons of tour buses and carriages that offer sightseeing and transportation to some of the city's best attractions. If heading off the beaten path is your aim, then rent your own vehicle or take advantage of rideshare options.

Best time to Visit

Summer in Charleston sees things heat right up, to the point where walking around outside isn't always as fun as it could be. Avoid the soaring temperatures by planning a spring or fall visit instead. In our humble opinion, March through May and September through November see Charleston at its best, with sunny days that don't often get hotter that the low 80s F. Plus, spring has flowers, lots of flowers, and fall has stunning foliage.

What to Pack

One Charleston necessity is a decent camera, even if that's just a good phone camera, for capturing the pretty historic buildings. Apart from that, it's a good idea to bring:

  • A swimsuit: You can swim in the sea or in various outdoor pools. On the hottest days, diving in and cooling off at some point feels like fate.
  • Sunscreen: Even in winter there's often bright sun in Charleston.
  • Shoes for walking: The Historic District just has to be seen on foot, and the rest of Charleston is quite walkable too.
  • Smart clothes: Look the part when you visit some of Charleston's dining institutions, such as Peninsula Grill.
