North Charleston Guide
Day One
Located just a few miles north of downtown Charleston, North Charleston is a vibrant city you'll want to experience. This eclectic city is home to the Charleston International Airport, and closely situated to key outlying stops on a Charleston adventure like Mount Pleasant, Sullivan's Island, and Summerville. Three days will just barely scratch the surface of a tour de North Charleston, so here are a few recommendations to make the most of your time.
Check In
Meet your home for the coming days, the North Charleston Marriott, a new hotel on the scene and an ideal place to relax during a few jam-packed days. Its well-appointed guest rooms are sleek and modern, with luxurious bedding and spa-like bathrooms. The hotel offers lots of outdoor space, including a patio and pool.

Night On Ice
Each fall marks a new season for our hockey team, The Stingrays. Snatch tickets to a home game at the North Charleston Coliseum if your visit overlaps. The ice flips into a stage nearly every other night, welcoming some of the country's best acts in music, comedy, and theater. Keep your eyes on its schedule - an upcoming show might strike your fancy.

Rediscover History
In 1864, the H. L. Hunley became the first successful combat submarine in world history. But - soon after completing her mission, the Hunley vanished and remained lost at sea for over a century. She was found in 1995 and soon established a home in North Charleston waters, which now is a museum for history and military buffs.

Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood
This neighborhood is a gem tucked inside North Charleston. Stretch your legs with a few rounds of disc golf along the park's perimeter and stop by the Butterfly Garden. Stroll down East Montague Street for its mix of shops, restaurants, bakeries, watering holes, and coffee shops - some longtime staples, and some brand new.

Bottle of Red, Bottle of White
This husband-and-wife-owned wine bar is cozy, charming, and (we bet) will be your new favorite spot. The wine selection here is plentiful, fun, and accessible for every palate and price point. Nosh on small plates from the kitchen, and if you're lucky, enjoy the occasional food truck pop-up for an added fun and delicious element.
