    Charleston International Airport is only a 20 minute ride up Route 26, 5500 International Blvd # 101, Charleston, SC. The airport is very easy to find and easy to get to, except during peak traffic times which moves at a snails pace! They have 164 flights daily according to their site.

    Stop short of Charleston

    • Save yourself some money and fly to either Charlotte or Savannah, rent-a-car and give yourself a couple of hours to get to Charleston. I did this during my last trip and found the drive relaxing as I sped through some beautiful Southern countryside...the couple of hundred bucks I saved wasn't bad either...

    As you have now just landed at the Charleston International Airport, in the City of North Charleston you have three real choices of transportation. First and the old standard - a friend or family member picks you up. Second - we have a large selection of national car rental agencies conveniently located near the baggage collection turnstiles. Shop around since their prices do vary a lot. Third - located just outside our terminal building, near baggage pickup, you will find taxi, hotel guest pickup and mini bus service. As you are leaving the airport proper, be sure to notice, just to your left, the newest of North Charlestons major industries. Vought Aircraft and Alenia North America Aircraft manufacturing and assembling major fuselage components for the Boeing 787 aircraft. If you are an aircraft buff you may also catch a glimpse of Boeing's new Dreamlifter cargo planes as they deliver and pickup from the North Charleston factories. If you want lodging, not in the tourist center of Charleston, you will find a good selection of modern, National and International hotels conveniently located near the airport in North Charleston. You may appreciate the savings. You will find the downtown, old City of Charleston just 10-15 minutes away via I-26

    Lots of walking
    by tpangelinan
    This is a big town so while walking take take you around the corner or a few good blocks, Terry and I love to take a bikes with us. We find we get a lot more area covered and if we just walked around which tends to wear us out. There is an awful lot to cover here so you may want to think about bring you own bike or rent some for the day, I did see a few bike rental companies in Sullivan's Island, Folly Beach and Charleston.

    Parking is often difficult in Charleston, especially downtown. We once ate dinner on the basis of whether we could get a parking place near the restaurant. Parking place first. Second decide where to eat.

    This is the long term parking garage which is also in the area of the visitor's center on the north end of downtown and right across the street from the Children's Museum. There's also a garage near the Aquarium (also north of the main tourist part of the city).

    • The best way is by car. You can get almost anywhere you need to (except Fort Sumpter) by car.It's not too far from I-95.
    You can get around fairly well by car, however I highly recommend the horse carriage tours to see the city and get some good information in a very enjoyable, leisurely manner.

    We are often in Charleston Harbor by boat. It is very interesting and a different perspective to see the city from the water. This boat is one that tours the harbor. However, IMHO, the boat to Fort Sumter would be a better one to take. In addition to seeing the city from the water, you also get to visit an important National Monument.

    This is what they say on their website:
    " Charleston Harbor Tours is the longest running harbor tour company in Charleston, serving her guests since 1908. The Harbor of History Tour lasts 90 minutes and is non-stop, fascinating, live-narrated, featuring 75 points of interest spanning almost 20 miles, Considered by many to be the most popular attraction in Charleston. Once aboard, you will experience Charleston from a different view point. Every fort in Charleston's harbor is included on this trip; Fort Sumter, Fort Moultrie, and Fort Johnson, See the Battery and the architectural make-up of the Holy City. Boat tour leaves conveniently from the Charleston Maritime Center (1/2 block south of the Aquarium) daily at 11:30 AM, 1:30 PM, and 3:30 PM. Snack Shop features sandwiches,beverages and other snack bar items available for purchase"

    Adults ……….$14
    Children 4-11…$8
    Seniors………..$14
    Children under 4 free with purchase of an adult ticket.

    I cannot speak highly enough about Charleston's CARTA bus/trolley system. We were staying in North Charleston and didn't want to pay the hotel shuttle fares, nor pay a taxi USD$25 to get down to the historic district - so we stopped by the Historic Visitor's Center and purchased a three day bus pass for USD$10!!

    They have a bus, route 11 that runs from the airport all the way downtown!! About an hour ride at the most, you can switch to any of the other routes from the transit center. CARTA buses run out to several plantations, and out to several beaches. I couldn't have asked for better service!

    Parking sign
    by grandmaR
    This is the sign for the short term parking lot right next to the visitor's center (No RVs) The first half hour is free, so you could nip into the visitor's center and use the bathrooms or pick up brochures or maps and not have to pay anything. The second half hour is 75 cents, and each hour after that is $1 with a maximum of $12.

    • Driving in Charleston can be a HUGE pain in the ass. Too many of the streets are one-way, so it can be very hard to take a direct route to where you need to go. And God help you if you take a wrong turn.

    Also, the streets are narrow, bumpy (even the ones that aren't cobblestone, which are REALLY bumpy), lined with parked cars, and prone to flooding.

    And despite the construction of many new garages recently, there still isn't enough parking.

    See the city by foot if at all possible. That way you can annoy the people in the cars by crossing streets slowly and in the wrong places--something a lof of the tourists seem to do.
