Walk the 7 Hidden Alleyways of Charleston, SC
13 Places • ago
$5.00
A trip to downtown Charleston can leave you aesthetically overwhelmed- int the best sense. To step back in time and absorb Charleston's history and culture, walk the residential streets in the historic South of Broad district. These colorful homes complete with beautiful ironwork, long side porches with swirling fans, and perfectly manicured flower boxes comprise the original Charleston peninsula neighborhood.
I used to live near here and went on many walks and runs before discovering that some of the most darling streets and special pieces of Charleston history are tucked back in alleyways that are easily overlooked on the first (and second and third) pass. This walking tour guide provides step-by- step instructions on how to find and explore 7 hidden alleyways in downtown Charleston- plus tips on the best places to park, and see out AC or refreshments if you're doing it on a hot Charleston summer day.

Bonjour, y'all! I’m Emma, a southerner who moved to Paris and now splits my time between the City of Light and Charleston, SC. After years of planning trips to both spots for friends, family, and the occasional stranger I befriended on a plane, I made things official and launched Travel Filled, my travel blog and planning business. I used to work for the City of Charleston and now travel and work with cities all over the country (aka total local government nerd, proudly nicknamed the Leslie Knope of my grad class). That makes me incredibly enthusiastic about finding and sharing local specialities and hidden gems. I’m constantly seeking out new cultural experiences, running routes, good pescatarian spots, book and coffee nooks, and the perfect cocktail. I plan trips for all sorts of folks, but am especially passionate about connecting with culturally curious women looking to fill up their travel cup through a blend of authentic experiences and treat yoself moments and are just too busy kicking ass in their daily lives to plan it all on their own!
