One of Charleston’s most iconic landmarks, the Charleston City Market is a vibrant, historic marketplace stretching more than four city blocks in the heart of downtown. Dating back to the early 1800s, the Market showcases the city’s rich cultural heritage through its architecture, local artisans, and enduring traditions. Guests can explore an array of handcrafted goods—from sweetgrass baskets woven by Gullah artisans to locally made art, gourmet treats, and Lowcountry-inspired gifts.
