The Charleston Home's "Charleston in the Winter" Travel Guide

charleston in the winter

Are you traveling to Charleston in the winter?

No idea where to start in finding all the fun, authentically Charleston things to do here in the winter?

I’ve got you covered!

Born out of my love for Charleston, I opened an online Charleston travel guide shop where I share carefully and expertly curated guides available for a steal. After moving here over 10 years ago, and serving clients moving here for the past 5 years, I am constantly asked for all the best restaurants and fun things to do. I created a general Charleston Guide for them — which you can access, too, here — but I know people visit for all different reasons and seasons so my guide shop has curated guides specific to almost any kind of visit to Charleston.

Whenever I travel and start searching all the things to do, see, and places to eat . . . I am so paranoid about landing on the touristy spots because it’s what pops up on the first page of Google. When I travel, I want to experience the city like a local. So when I created this guide, I purposely do not include any tourist traps! Sure, I may include some popular experiences, but only because I believe they are definitely worth your time or money.

All bars, restaurants, events and activities are clickable in this downloadable guide. This makes accessing a restaurant’s menu so quick and easy— no searching for a good restaurant and then fumbling through each one’s website to find their menu. I also provide an average plate price key, and I label where in the Charleston area the restaurant is located. I make it easy easy easy for you!

The winter season in Charleston is just lovely and full of holiday cheer. Winter in Charleston means cozy nights, bonfires, oysters, and celebrating the holiday season. It’s usually pretty chilly so you’ll need a jacket but not too many layers.

In my “Charleston in the Winter” travel guide you’ll find:

  • A selection of some of the best restaurants for breakfast, lunch, and dinner all over the Charleston area but focusing on downtown. I made sure to include a few restaurants to get oysters since winter is oyster season in CHS!

  • All of Charleston’s coziest bars because don’t you just want a bar with a cozy ambiance during the chilly months?

  • Two full pages of activities to do during the winter months in Charleston

  • A calendar of events — some holiday themed but not all. 🎄

  • A walking route that takes you through one of my favorite boroughs downtown, with a place to park marked on the map, plus a coffee and lunch spot!

You will love this guide whether you live in Charleston, recently moved to Charleston, or are visiting Charleston soon. Experience Charleston like a local with my “Charleston in the Winter” travel guide, or visit my guide shop to browse my other curated Charleston guides.
