I have watched and enjoyed many many YT videos of "Driving Downtown" in various American cities. I have to say, Charleston, SC looks absolutely THE most amazing of them all. Such beautiful architecture and perfectly manicured tree-lined streets. Now I know where I want to go next time I visit the USA .
Still, same old car-centric city blocks, ugly overhead power lines, messy traffic signs and badly maintained roads. Oh, and ALL that lovely old architecture was funded by slavery and repression.
Very nice! How beautiful and human this city is : surely one of the most hospitable of the U.S. so that I would like to live there. Greetings from Switzerland!
i can see why a european would say that. It's very walkable for the most part(which means it's very hard to find parking lol) and given that it's one of the oldest cities in america and a lot of the multiple century-old buildings were inspired by aspects of european architecture.
@@marcob4630 you already in Switzerland why donu want to move in the US when Lucerne geneva and swiss mountain villages exist are not u aware how lucky u are in Switzerland lol
Loved this video and found out that my niece and her husband and daughter go here for their summer vacations. Hoping to be able to travel there with them sometime in the future.
My sister lives near and works at James Island in Charleston, SC. A few years back we went to visit her and visited the church where the shooting happened. It's was just a few months after the shooting and there was a lot of people. My family and I left our names with a condolence to the family of those who lost loved ones. It's such a beautiful place. We will be going back up next week to visit my parents and sister again and continue our trip to NC.
Your channel is my favourite on UA-cam!!! Joyous that I discovered this! My favourite video to watch to pretend that I'm there. Thank you so very much for this, grateful.
I went to Charleston this August for my summer vacation.. beautiful city, especially its historic district. Wish you drove through more streets of French Quarter
Os this for real ,the city remains me of when I was a little girl running around and getting into a all culture of friends and going to the corner convention store in my neighborhood. this a beautiful city 🌃 Made me want come there and visit.❤️❤️❤️🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
I really enjoy your videos, they help me concentrate when being productive, thank you so much! I'd love to see some driving videos where the weather isn't that great, so don't hesitate to turn on the camera when it's raining somewhere the next time :P Cheers!
¡Aaaaaaahhhhh! es preciosa. Cuando se recorre sus calles es como retroceder en el tiempo y vivir la historia de USA hace 200 años. Asombroso. Una medalla de oro para J Utah.
For anyone who visits downtown, Charleston, I suggest parking by the battery shown at 36:59 because it’s free parking and on sundays meter parking and garages near churches are free because of church (I suggest not to bother though because it’ll be hard to find a spot since it’ll be packed)
@@aganib4506 Im from Cali too. Most of the west coast was settled after the invention of cars, so west coast cities tend to be car centric and designed for cars. A lot of cities on the east coast were built up in the 18th and 19th century and were built by european immigrants, so they tend to be more european like. There are hidden gems of cities on the east coast that no one talks about because theyre not major cities, but there are some beautiful cities out there that are under the radar. Savanah is another one
What @@DavidLopez-rk6em said. Charleston is one of the oldest cities in america and was heavily inspired by european architecture along with a bunch of coastal us cities in on the east coast. Savannah is another great example and there are tons of cities up north with historical roots from early european settlers.
I’ve been going to Charleston annually for 30 years. Can you tell me why the rainbow market is always so run down and unoccupied? Everywhere else has tenants by market square except rainbow market. Maybe a pizza joint, that’s it.
Not gonna lie,i went to Charleston on a day trip and wasn't that crazy about it. However,I only hung around King,Market and that street near the port,so maybe I didn't get the full effect. Any suggestions in case I give it another shot?
Charleston will never have tall buildings...by design...they don't want any. There are strict building codes that prohibit them. It's called The Holy City because of their many old, beautiful churches with tall steeples...no commercial or residential buildings are allowed to be built taller than those steeples. LOL...while other city's dream and drool over the prospects of a tall building or an additional skyscraper in their skyline, Charleston tells developer's to 'keep that shit outta here'. The strategy appears to be working well...Charleston (aka "New Orleans with a conscience") has replaced New York City and San Francisco as America's favorite city for the last seven years in a row. Although not seen in this video, the Ravenel Bridge is the tallest structure in the city. The bridge is 575 ft tall with 186 ft of clearance below...at 4km long, it's the third longest cable-stayed bridge in the Western Hemisphere. As for the trees, those are Palmetto palms and you can find them from the coast and up into the midlands and upstate of SC...so many that it's their state's moniker...'The Palmetto State'.
Its one of the best historic cities on the East Coast. I spend a lot of time in Wilmington NC which is a smaller version of Charleston but overlooked since farther off I-95. Wilmington-Charleston-Savannah makes for a good trip if every touring the southeast.
It's down to a Category 1 now, and Charleston is not likely to see a huge impact from it. Nothern SC around Myrtle Beach will see the worst of it in the state.
Charleston is America's showcase city. It's the only one that is comparable to the grand cities of Europe. Very classy place but also very welcoming and friendly, y'all.
They grow as far north as North Carolina. Also fun fact: even though Florida has the most palm trees, South Carolina is considered the Palmetto state because of the fact that soldiers in South Carolina built a fort out of the trees and successfully defended against the British. It’s also why the tree is on the state flag.
Also they don't grow palm trees naturally out west.They are planted by people.How they even survive amazes me.They are meant for hot wet climate..not dry hot desserts.It cracks me up seeing palm trees in Arizona and Nevada.Palm trees need a lot of rain and moisture to survive.So they must hose them down alot to survive the dry weather.lol.
Leon Kompowsky I can only assume you people commenting this are totally ignorant to the fact that the US is predominantly Subtropical in climate and ecology, and has palm trees that are hardy up to the southern Midwest, albeit smaller ones. It’s an ignorant northerner thing to think that Florida is the only place in the US that has a climate for palm trees, because that’s the only place in the south you ever visit
Charleston isn't the largest city in SC. Columbia SC is the largest city and Greenville/Spartanburg/Anderson is the largest metro area in the state. But Charleston is the most beautiful city by far.
@@jermen5137 yes it is, not by much though, Columbia has a larger MSA than Charleston still though and Greenville is the largest MSA in the state of SC.
Perhaps it's those 60-story skyscrapers or the eighth busiest airport in the world in their backyard or their inclusion in a 2.52 million MSA, but I think I saw Rock Hill roll it's eyes and yawn listening to this argument.
Honestly it's comparing apples to oranges. That is said In the context of uniqueness, it's not your typical "American" city. Honestly the culture and atmosphere is anything but American. Drop Charleston down anywhere in the Caribbean, France, Italy or Spain and nobody would blink an eye.
Não tem nenhuma autoridade aí nessa cidade e proibir que continuem com essas charretes, pensei que a escravidão tivesse acabado ai, aonde ja se viu um pobre cavalo, num calorão, carregando além da carroça super pesada, ainda carregar mais 17 pessoas. Soube de um cavalo que caiu na rua com exaustão, carregando 17 pessoas nessa carroça gigante. Aonde estão as associações protetoras dos animais. Essa cidade se tornou feia, horrível, cruel só por causa dessas carroças nojentas, só faturando as custas do pobre animal. Nojo dessa cidade.

Beautiful video of a beautiful city. I first visited in 2017 and again in 2018. In 2019, I hope to call it home.
This is extremely beautiful.

Historic and beautiful
pure beauty!!
Wow i would like very much living there !!!!! Thanks JU 👍
Charleston is remarkable! Huge emphasis on historic preservation. Like stepping back in time!
Very beautiful city! Thank you.
love your videos, i'm also trying to share driving videos from korea. (:
37:28 if anyone is wondering, this is the road where that car chase scene was filmed for outer banks on netflix.
I remember going to Charleston as a kid, but it is very expensive to go now
Great video! If I ever get into legal trouble in Charleston, I'll go to the "Hood Law Firm" (2:28).
Big like bro 👏🏻
The city I wanna live in. I swear I'm gonna move there one day. :)
You should
I kept expecting to see Orry Main walk around the corner in a grey uniform 🙂
I like your videos
Wow! An American city with European architecture? I love to pay a visit!
You say that as if it's rare. Most cities on the east coast look like European cities.
@@hacienda2490 I've never been to the east coast before. I have yet to see other American towns that may have european influences. I'm from Cali, btw.

Beautiful, unique city
incredible
i live in Beaufort sc and its very pertty here yall met like it here and thin the houses are very Nice here to.
Beautiful city in the world
Another great video
I wish more of our cities was like Charleston. Not too dense and plenty of detached homes with beauty and close access to services and shops.
Wauw a true and real American atmosphere
I’m from Costa Rica. I don’t really know what to think if too move there or stay here. Any advice?!
Que lugar calmo, sem trânsito..👍🏾👍🏾
Pequena cidade turística!
Good show!😾✌️
Great video 👏👏 keep it up good work 😆😆 I Love your video at America city’s 🏙🌃🏙
Cheers :) Glad you like the videos!
thank you
South Carolina! Looks like Penang my hometown.
Please, make a new Charleston SC downtown video! Love it,
I will.make one very soon. A whole new look
I like New York city, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Hollywood and Las Vegas thanks
Vegas is trash.
Beautiful video l, but sound is low on all of your videos
Anyone see the guy crossing the street at 9:24 disappear into thin air like a ghost?
YES!!! What the hell was that?
Very interesting- went over the capture a few times now seriously odd
I hope I'm not getting wooshed right now, but it's definitely a camera cut.
Charleston is said to be very haunted. I always get sucked into the paranormal tours.lol
It’s editing
Make it for Driving in highway, suburb, and country areas too? :)
you are going to make one of Canadá?
For those who don’t know, at 39:51- 40:03 to the left is the famous rainbow row
-from a local
Fun fact: buildings aren’t allowed to be taller than the church steeples and that’s why there’s no skyscrapers or any other really tall buildings
I’ve been going to Charleston annually for 30 years. Can you tell me why the rainbow market is always so run down and unoccupied? Everywhere else has tenants by market square except rainbow market. Maybe a pizza joint, that’s it.
Great great America

Save your money and go to another city to visit cause charleston aint the place to go not much to do out here.
@@Baller3759 I can definitely say that Savannah was much better and will probably go back at some point

I was about to say fallout 76 but then saw the rest of the title and found that this is south Carolina not west Virginia 😁
Not much of a skyline, but still a nice looking city nonetheless. Also, why the hell didn't I know South Carolina had palm trees?
Yea thats why its called the palmetto state lol
It's literally the palmetto state. There are more of them here that naturally grow than anywhere

sir, why can't you create video game? we love it we'll enjoy it.
Yes!! I live here!!
i dont know if it's the world's best city, but looks cool anyway !
honestly might be
Its one of the best historic cities on the East Coast. I spend a lot of time in Wilmington NC which is a smaller version of Charleston but overlooked since farther off I-95. Wilmington-Charleston-Savannah makes for a good trip if every touring the southeast.
Isn't Charlestown in South Carolina we're a category 4 hurricane is headed?
Correct!
It's down to a Category 1 now, and Charleston is not likely to see a huge impact from it. Nothern SC around Myrtle Beach will see the worst of it in the state.

similiar to new orleans or not?
Not really.
In many aspects, culture,architecture, and geography. Of course only a few noticable differences. Both are very unique to the United States.
