Charleston has so much to offer, and so many places to choose from, that we couldn’t pick just a few things for you to try. So we decided to create a quick list for you. We know you’ll find several places here that will show you a good time. We love Charleston because of its diversity—at all hours of the day, something is going on.
We don’t define “hot spot” as just a nightclub—we find that fun and unusual activities are great hot spots. Have fun looking through the list! For more information on these places, try the Charleston Area Convention and Visitors Bureau at www.charlestoncvb.com.
We hope you enjoy the list! You’ll see everything from the USS Yorktown Ghost Tour to O-Ku Sushi. Everything is in alphabetical order. Happy hunting and happy exploring!
