Review of Charleston, South Carolina


Fabulous
Star Rating - 4/23/2023
Charleston is beautiful and unique and incredibly special. If you don't believe me, just ask Anthony Bourdain in his Parts Unknown episode - and he was an insightful critic of everyplace. First of all, it is home to possibly the most significant historic district in the entire country. And it has the regulations to ensure it survives. Extraordinary. People complain about the traffic, but that's a joke if you have come here from any metropolitan area in the country. It is physically beautiful, has extraordinary cuisine, a gorgeous coastline and really nice people who live here. Yes, it is buggy and hot and humid in summer, and leans conservative, but anyone who spends 5 minutes researching it can know that before arriving.

Charleston has been voted every year since 2011 as Best City USA by both Travel + Leisure and Conde Nast Travelor - and America's friendliest city during this same period. Perhaps what's most impressive is that Charleston is the ONLY U.S. city to rank each year in the Best Cities in the World annual reader's polls of both magazines. Combined, that's the opinion of 7 million plus seasoned travelors!
