Activities:
Downtown Shopping King Street:
An afternoon (or full day!) perusing the shops of King Street is a must. Even if you've been to Charleston before, the shops are ever-changing and evolving. From clothing boutiques to home goods, King Street has it all.
Good to know: Most shops open between 10 - 11a.m.
Candle Class w/ Martini Candle Co.

Folly Tiki:
Sunshine, dolphins, and a conch shell blow horn are some of the things to look forward to on the Friki Tiki!
Blueberry Walking Tours:
Blueberry Walking Tours are located in the heart of the French Quarter in Downtown Charleston. Boasting incredible reviews, reputable local guides, and offering an array of tours, Blueberry is an ideal way of exploring historic Charleston.

Cocktails:
Citrus Club:
Situated atop the Dewberry Hotel in central Downtown Charleston, the Citrus Club has some of the best views and best cocktails in Charleston.
Good to Know: The rooftop is on the smaller side, so make sure to arrive early or make reservations for groups. The best time for the Citrus Club is during the day or at sunset.
Cocktail Club:
Located on Upper King Street, the Cocktail Club is one of Charleston's staple bars from Happy Hour until Closing Time. Arrive early for relaxing Happy Hour drinks and sunshine on the porch, or come after dinner a more lively atmosphere.
Good to Know: Later in the evening there is oftentimes a line to get into Cocktail Club (during the summer you will encounter this most places in Charleston).
Bar Vauté:
A hidden treasure in Charleston, Bar Vaute is located on the Southern part of the Peninsula in the French Quarter. This intimate, "speakeasy" bar is a great place for after dinner drinks and lounging.
Good to Know: It can be a little tricky to find Bar Vauté as it is hidden beneath a French restaurant called "Brasserie la Banque". Access via the side doors on East Bay Street, or ask a friendly face for assistance. Not suited for large (over 6 people) groups.
Henry's on the Market:
Best for large groups that want to party, Henry's is located in the central historic district. The bar boasts multiple stories jam packed with music, dancing, and live bands.
Good to Know: Henry's is a wild time so be sure to bring your Aspirin for the AM. Henry's oftentimes has a roundabout $20 cover charge per person at nights and on weekends.
