Charleston is a short road trip away from many southeastern cities and easy to access by airplane for out-of-towners. There are two airports that serve the city: Charleston International Airport which is about 10 miles north of downtown Charleston and the Charleston Executive Airport which is only about 15 miles away. Don’t bother renting a car at the airport unless you plan on exploring the nearby beaches, as Charleston’s cobblestone streets are very walkable and parking is both limited and expensive. Taxis from the airport cost about $30, and shuttles run every fifteen minutes and cost less than half of that with no reservations required.
