We’ve done it again, y’all: Condé Nast Traveler readers just named our little city the most popular city in the U.S. for the ninth consecutive year.
We’re strong believers that Charleston is the best city in the world, and now we have proof to back it up: the Holy City also claimed the title of best city in the world outside of the U.K. (which got its own category).
