Charleston City Market

It's a great place to take a stroll around and check out the local vendors selling some really cool stuff. It was way bigger than we thought, and it's a good place to immerse yourself in Charleston's history. One can also take horse carriages around the market to get a Charleston tour. It's a great place to see some local vendors.

I’ve never seen a city market that sits in the city . My hubby and I visited this place doing our Thanksgiving stay in Charleston SC. It is definitely a busy place. The vendors are so nice and talented. I actually purchase a bag of yellow grits and some seasoning from one of the vendors. She only took Cash App & Venmo & cash. No credit cards. . I’m definitely going back next spring. Some of the vendors didn’t want you to video their stuff even though they don’t have sighs up saying no pics or videos. So I posted videos of a little view from inside of this restaurant we were at eating. This is a must visit place y’all!!!

Love shopping at the Charleston city market! Lots of great Christmas and birthday gift ideas! People are friendly and there is so much to look at. We also took an E-bike ride to the pineapple fountain and enjoyed sitting by the waterfront. Don’t miss a horse-drawn carriage ride around the city, in the evening, complete with spooky ghost stories and delicious restaurants all around. Overall, Charleston is a fun walkable city with lots of history and a fun vibe!

A beautifully designed market with a pleasant and welcoming atmosphere. Partially air-conditioned, featuring charming shops and stalls. The vendors are friendly, not pushy, and very customer-focused. There’s a great variety of products to discover, and plenty of good food options around the market. Definitely worth a visit!

The Charleston City Market is a fun indoor/partially outdoor shopping experience. It's easy to find souvenirs or unique Charleston gifts. Prices can be on the high side, but that’s standard in a tourist area, some vendors will haggle on prices. We were there mid November which was perfect for walking around, but if your there in the summer I would go early morning.

A tourist thing in Charleston. You could buy some souvenirs and we got a really cute coaster and a meh magnet. Things are pricey but not incredulous. There is a callies hot biscuit to try. Some very cool art like metal art and real butterflies taxidermy. Went in pouring stormy weather but I can imagine a more laid back stroll at the market with a loved one would be nice. Not every stall is super different so maybe the nyc in me is spoiled and I am looking for novelty. The other thing would be if there were more snacks or bites to try. But overall decent. Not stunning.

The Charleston City Market is always a fun stop when visiting the city. There’s a little bit of everything here, so it’s easy to find souvenirs or unique gifts. Prices can be on the higher side, but that’s pretty standard for a tourist spot. On one of my first visits, a kid handed me a palm rose, and before I knew it, a man was chasing me down asking for $5—it gave off a bit of a New York street hustle vibe. The market is usually crowded and can get very hot in the summer, but there’s a small indoor section with food options, air conditioning, and surprisingly clean bathrooms, which was a welcome break.
