Traveler advice
Getting around
Parking in downtown Charleston.
The parking garages are disguised to look like regular building and not large, ugly garages. So you have to look for them. They are typically 1-2 blocks off of King street. We recommend an Uber/Lyft to make it easy. Get dropped off at the Meeting Market and let the adventure begin!
