"Here you can shop for local specialty items and enjoy the beauty and history of downtown Charleston, South Carolina!"

"Their pralines are the best!"

"Here's the site of the old Market in Charleston. Great for the history buffs and the shopaholics because it still houses an open air market. If you want a really Charleston souvenir you're sure to find it here."

"Wander through the open-air market sheds for daily shopping or to watch local artists make sweet grass baskets. Stroll up and down Market Street and visit all the unique shops. Enjoy one of Charleston's many historic hotels or restaurants. Horse drawn carriage rides available."

"This is a very nice hotel with a great rooftop bar. There is also a restaurant which is very expensive. You can just go to the bar, take in the scenery, and have a couple of drinks!"

"It's absolutely beautiful in this area and there are loads of restaurants and shops. If you have a couple hours to spare I recommend walking around the 3-block open Market, all the way over to Waterfront Park. The houses are gorgeous and most are mansions or traditional "side houses". There are many small alleyways hiding beautiful courtyards with gardens and statues and cobblestone streets. Or, you get a tour by horse-drawn carriage. Rates are about $20/adults and $15/children."

"Outdoor flea market shopping. Nearby several ice cream stores, souvenir shops, and restaurants. The Market stretches all the way down to Meeting Street"

"Visit Charleston's Historic Market! Crafts, sweets, and Charleston Treats! Watch the locals make their beautiful reed baskets!"

"You can browse the open air market and buy some local wares."

"Three years after the Masonic Hall on the corner of Meeting and Market Streets was destroyed by fire, the current Market Hall was built in 1841 from a design by Edward Brickwell White. He was paid $300 for his plan, a copy of the Temple of the Wingless Victory in Athens. It was originally used by the Market Commissioners for meetings, social functions and space rental underneath. Since the 1970's, the original sheds and the areas opposite the Market on both sides have housed many small and unique shops, each with its own flavor, history and character. Some of the products for sale include locally crafted sweetgrass baskets, clothing, artwork, jewelry, local souvenirs, perfumes, food, T-shirts, and other gift items. The vegetable and fruit vendors are still there alongside the basket weavers who speak Gullah and entice you to buy their goods."

You can even watch Gullah women hand-make these select treasures. Daily 6am-11:30pm"
