The Charleston Historic District of King Street is the epitome of Southern charm. A bustling thoroughfare, it is a meeting place of Historic Charleston's past and present. King Street boasts some of the city's trendiest restaurants and sophisticated cocktail scenes along with hotels, art galleries, flourishing businesses, and lively nightlife - not to mention some seriously exceptional shopping.

Lower King Street, the oldest yet newest neighborhood and cultural center in Charleston, was the last of three King Street sections to undergo the beautification project. Suitably named the Antique District, this stretch from Broad to Market was voted the "Best Antique Shopping in the U.S." by the readers of Travel + Leisure magazine. You can find antiques from any period from all over the world.

Middle King, from Market to Calhoun, is the King Street Fashion District. Accurately named for its mix of charming locally-owned fashion boutiques and well-known national brand shops, it has everything from handbags and shoes straight from the runway, European lingerie, top designer fashions and jewelry to the latest eye-wear.

Upper King Street, from Marion Square to Spring Street, is the Design and Dining District, which houses some of the best home furnishing shopping and interior design decor in the country. It also showcases some of Charleston's best restaurants and most fun bars.
