Charleston City Market
Charleston City Market is one of the most recognizable shopping and cultural destinations in downtown Charleston. Located at 188 Meeting Street, the market occupies a historic complex that has been part of Charleston's commercial life for generations. The National Park Service identifies the Market Hall and Sheds as a National Historic Landmark and notes that the surviving buildings date to 1840–1841.
Today, Charleston City Market brings together a broad collection of vendors and artisans. Visitors can browse handmade crafts, Charleston-inspired gifts, jewelry, artwork, food, souvenirs, and traditional Lowcountry products. One of the Market's signature experiences is discovering sweetgrass baskets, a craft strongly associated with the cultural heritage of the South Carolina Lowcountry.
The market includes open-air sheds and an enclosed Great Hall, creating an inviting environment for browsing and meeting local vendors. The official Charleston City Market website describes the destination as a place where visitors can discover local artisans, sweetgrass basket weavers, food vendors, and unique souvenirs while experiencing Charleston's culture and Southern character.
For guests of The Charleston Place, Charleston City Market is exceptionally well positioned for a downtown shopping itinerary. The market is at 188 Meeting Street, while The Charleston Place is at 205 Meeting Street, placing these two destinations on the same central downtown corridor.
A visit to Charleston City Market is more than a shopping trip. It offers an opportunity to discover locally made products, speak with artisans, and take home a meaningful reminder of Charleston and the Lowcountry.
