1. King Street

This street has it all. They have shops, restaurants, bars, music, and people wondering around congratulating the bride. It's so much fun that you can spend almost an entire day just walking it and stopping into all of the different stores. It also has so much southern charm that it gives you the perfect mix of whatever you're looking for.

2. The Water

You can hop on a historical boat tour, head to the beach, rent a party boat for yourself, play water sports, sit outside at restaurants on the water and drink - whatever you want. It actually has something for everyone and makes for the cutest photos and the absolute best time.

3. Warm Weather

Sure, if you head down in January, maybe you won't have the warmest weather, but most of the year it's gorgeous down in South Carolina. It makes for exploring and walking around so much better because it's great weather all of the time. It's one of the best parts of the southern town.

4. The Food

Oh. My. Goodness. I don't think the whole time we were there, we ate a bad thing. The food in every restaurant we went to was so good that it made the weekend so much more enjoyable. We were constantly looking forward to our next meal. Especially if you love grits or biscuits - this is your town.

5. The Scene

You can without a doubt find anything you're looking for in this town. You can find live music, you can not have a sip of alcohol, you can go out dancing until 2 AM, you can lounge, you can party - whatever you want. There's a scene for everyone and it's beyond perfect because it fits all of the girls you're with.

6. The Bars

As I said above, there's something for everyone. But if you're looking to bar hop and you're looking for good drinks, make sure you head to Charleston. It has so many cool places and so many unique drink choices that it makes it so interesting. A few places to check out:

Uptown Social - they have a cool rooftop bar and an amazing butterfly wing mural to take photos in front of

Pour Taphouse - this place is like your own personal tasting room. You get to pay by the ounce of whatever you try and they have 40 or more taps including wine, seltzer, cider, beer, mead, and mixed drinks.

Stars Restaurant - the food is beyond amazing and their rooftop bar is so much fun to hang out on

7. The History

So this wasn't something we spent so much time on due to wanting to drink but I kept saying I needed to go back to Charleston to explore this side of the city. There's so much history there and so many types of tours to take, it's definitely worth it if you're looking for more of this type of trip. Also, this pretty much explains itself why you should try this but they have nighttime ghost tours. Yes. Just go do one.
