Perfect time to Visit Charleston

The best thing about Charleston is that you can go there at any time of the year because it is beautiful all year round. But the most suitable months for such a climate are obvious – Spring and Autumn. In March-May, the Spring season, nature is at its most vibrant, and the city dresses in this beautiful color. Hotel rates tend to rise at this time but if you plan your trip in the middle of the week, you'll get to avoid some of the crowds and high prices. Charleston weather in the autumn (September – November) is relatively warm, and a great opportunity to visit major festivals such as Charleston Restaurant Week, MOJA Arts Festival, and Holiday Festival of Lights that take place in November through January.
