East End Historic District
East End Historic District blends stately government grandeur with charming residential vibes. Wander tree-lined streets where Victorian mansions show off wraparound porches and ornate details.

Most visitors stay in historic bed-and-breakfasts housed in converted Victorian homes with period furnishings. The neighborhood is wonderfully walkable with well-maintained sidewalks, though public transit options are limited.
Downtown Charleston
Downtown Charleston balances stately government buildings with unexpected cultural gems. The golden-domed State Capitol rises majestically beside the Kanawha River, while the modern glass Clay Center houses art exhibits and science displays. Grab tickets for a Mountain Stage radio show or catch a baseball game at GoMart Ballpark after exploring historic brick buildings that tell stories of river commerce. Business travelers and culture seekers both feel at home here with upscale restaurants serving Appalachian specialties like pepperoni rolls. Hotels cater mainly to weekday business crowds, offering weekend deals. The walkable downtown grid makes exploring easy, with most attractions within six blocks of each other.
