Meh. I’m not sure what is so impressive about these houses. They’re different colors, okay?! Perhaps if you’re from the area they offer some charm or whatnot, but speaking as someone who’s been to all 50 states, they’re much better free attractions out there.

Absolutely breathtaking! The whole row of houses are neat! They mostly all have a side entrance and gardens. Some are for sale, some are lived in. Most are 200+ years old. Lots of history here. Just for historical purposes, you should see it! Right near the battery and waterfront. Free parking along the road.

My favorite street in Charleston by FAR! I only wish there wasn’t a large dumpster parked in front of the colorful buildings. It definitely blocked our opportunity for some pictures. The buildings are beautiful nonetheless!

Gorgeous view. You can stroll around and enjoy the breeze and sun. Watch out for the water puddles lol. We accidentally splashed a top less jeep while driving slowly.

Very unique, historical and beautiful part of Charleston SC downtown. These building had lots of character and charm!

It really is a beautiful site to see. The old buildings painted with bright colors are amazing. Take a slow stroll and stop in the little shops and galleries along the way.

Colorful houses. But there are cars parked right in front of them.

Beautiful homes in the lovely city of Charleston,SC. It is a must see when visiting Charleston and its absolutely free.

The best part about covid19 is the ease of tourism. I come to Charleston 2x a year with my family. Having a 2, 4, 6 year old, dog and wife this is the perfect town. Rainbow row is as it was, just no traffic and the sidewalks are clear! Best time to try that restaurant where you can never get a last minute reservation.

The historic buildings make for a gorgeous walk. Definitely make your way down by the river side.

I totally love love rainbow row it’s so pretty and I love coming here to take pictures and not to far there is a little area you can seat and read a book

One of the classic, historic spots in Charleston South Carolina. Incredible, historic homes on the water. Each multi million dollar in value. Went as part of a Downtown Charleston Walking tour. Having guide was invaluable to get full history as well as current values. The stroll along the water is particularly beautiful.

Parking was easy, and convenient. The houses were well kept and beautiful

Definitely a must see in Charleston if you love history.

The architecture & scenery is nice & rustic!

Big red dumpster plopped out front blocked any chance of a good photo opportunity.

Would’ve never guessed this was in the United States – such a European vibe!

As to be expected! Very clean and lots of beautiful flowers. Went in the late afternoon and it wasnt busy. I gave 4 stars because the pink house was currently undergoing ongoing renovations.

Beautiful, pastel colored houses as advertised. Didnt take long.

Rainbow Row on East Bay Street is a cool part of Charleston that is nice to check out when you are walking or driving. The colors are cool and a nice variety and it is something that adds a little flavor to the street. Little things like Rainbow Row are what makes Charleston a great place to be and visit. This is a nice and quick thing to see and show people. My favorite color is the green one.

The building are fun to look at. A good spot for a photo shoot.

Its overrated as a site, but its history is nice. As usual, it involves women. Its about women coming together to beautify the city and help the city overcome the sadness of war.

Nothing special about this area, lots of colored buildings in Charleston. Save your time and focus on the great architecture everywhere while eating at all the great restaurants.

Second time in Charleston South Carolina and it was as beautiful as I was told it was. Our family went through there when I was about five or six but dont have any memories of it other than how much my parents enjoyed it so it was fun to go back and see it as an adult.

Beautiful houses, just like the rest of the area! Get you cameras ready for this city, and dont forget to look for the little gardens in between the residences; beautiful!

Awesome part of town great to walk around

Its easy to get there. Youll find parking spots without much trouble. Walkable downtown! The colorful façades and the warm environment will make you feel happy instantly! Theres a lot to see and do, in my opinion, without spending much! If youre planning to visit Charleston soon, dont think much about it and go!

Beautiful multi-colored row houses... a must see when in the area

Most historical city in South Carolina a must see absolutely beautiful both the scenery and the people

Most of the homes were in the process of being remolded. It was historically interesting as you can read the placards.

Most iconic place in Charleston. Beautiful!

They are currently refurbishing them. Nevertheless, they are nice to see.

Really neat to see historical buildings still standing. Worth the visit.

Beautiful home painted in pastels

Best looking spot in Charleston. Tons of history to read about, even a guided audio street tour. Lovely place to take photos. Visited this summer on road trip. Was blown away. Will be back soon.

There are some really nice old houses around the sea wall at the bottom of the peninsula. The area feels strange though in a way that is hard to describe. Like theyve tried so hard to keep the authentic quality of the neighborhood, they lost any semblance of a neighborhood.

Fun to see if you like looking at buildings and architecture. No public bathroom nearby.

I did not see the big thrill. So the houses are painted different colors.....they were nice but not worth the hot walk to see.

Charleston is such a beautiful city. There is so much history and great food that makes it a perfect place to visit.

Its history. Just drive by. Not soeth spending money on a tour. One blick of houses thats all

I wont lie, I was a bit disappointed with actual rainbowrow. I guess I expected a bit more since it is one of the iconic things to see in Charleston. With that said everything around it is just beautiful. We were sucked into the time it represents. It was quite an amazing overall experience. The pineapple fountain and all the cultural buildings are walking distance which makes this a pit stop of a visit

Fun to see but with all the cars and construction dumpsters in the way hard to get great photos.

Love the colors and the wonderful architecture of the building. So much to see

Nice area to walk around and enjoy the scenery.

Really neat thing to visit. Traffic & parking made it hard for great photo ops

This is a pretty area of Charleston. Not only are the homes beautiful, but the flower boxes on the windows are a sight to see. They are all a riot of colors and textures and the flowers are spilling out of the boxes. I had more fun photographing those than the homes. Its a short stretch og street so you wont need much time there.

Historical place to visit. Very nice

This is a walking tour for someone that enjoys architecture. It’s an easy walk, with alley ways, door fronts, court yards and so much to make you go ahhh. It’s a photographers dream.

Wonderful Charleston with its colorful streets full with history, charm and character!

It was absolutely beautiful and we had a lot of fun there!

Love it, I have always wanted to go. One thing of my bucket list.

Nice to see the old style architecture and colors on the houses. Lots of construction going on to houses around the area.

Pretty houses. Super fun to take pics

Find a public alley to walk down, so fun to explore Charleston!

The place feels different from the rest, its like being in a European town in the mountains but its nearthe beach even the atmosphere is refreshing the restaurants near rainbown row are magnificent as well.

Such a colorful street! Love all the different styles of houses in beautiful arrays of colors! Mixed with all the flowers and greenery, it feels like you’re in a painting! It’s a quick walk down the road so it’s good to add this in to your day if you’re doing a city tour or over by the Battery and Gardens. My family and I loved it even though it was a short excursion!

Little disappointed because is just like five colorful houses, the rest of the street even though is beautiful; is just plain white houses. I was expecting more colorful houses the whole street.

Really beautiful historical landmark.. It is interesting to see part of the US that looks more like a Europe than anywhere else in the US. It has such a nice sidewalk along the seashore. All the houses are so beautiful. The view is priceless.This spot is definitely must see in Charleston!

Beautiful architecture and colorful homes.

Loved this place. There were so many great shops to explore. The historical buildings looked great. Looking forward to another visit when I have more time to visit more of the shops and restaurants.

Beautiful street with rainbow color apartments! It looked like they have some sort of competition for decorating their apartments. Simply amazing!

These houses are stunning to see as they marry Traditional English architecture with that southern POP of color. These homes belonged to—and were saved by— some of the first preservationists in the country, and continue to delight anyone who sees them.

Great place , get over here and click those insta perfect shots..

Very cool to see the old houses restored. Some very interesting entry ways. Awesome streets, often cobblestone and lots of eatteries.

Quite nice to look at and there are some good stories about the area

When in Charleston, take a beautiful stroll down rainbow row. Kids enjoyed the beautifully colored homes. Pretty flowers in the window boxes. You can picture yourself back in the late 1800’s.

Just some art deco-pastel colored houses to attract stupid tourists like s..t atracts flies. Pretty old for US terms. But again, just a street in a 300-y.o. town.Go visit the slave house museum instead or some of the houses you can actually see the interior of.

This place is great for a pleasant stroll. Not to far away from several bars, restaurants and a crowded market for tourists.

So, if you are visiting Charleston this is a must see kinda stop. The neighborhood around the Painted Houses are very beautiful as well. The soft pastel paint and the older homes are a lovely sight to see! The photo only shows the back of one beautiful lavender color home, the front view youll have to go and see for yourself! Enjoy!

Really fascinating to see homes which have stood for so many years. A local, Steve, stood and talked with us for about 20 minutes about the local history. Really nice guy and a very good representation of locals in Charleston.

A row of houses in pastel colors, just makes you smile, even though youre melting in the heat and humidity. Unique for sure.

Coolest houses in Charleston! A must see.

Iconic spot in Charleston. Great place for a picture.

Beautiful place, great history in Charleston

Just a fun little area to walk to and check out and take some pictures

Beautiful streets. Loved this place.

Downtown Charleston has fabulously beautiful architect, food, history, and charming southern hospitality from the people.

Cool row of colorful well maintained historical buildings. Lovely floral arrangements in front of many of them. Very nice street to take a stroll down and then head to the waterfront.

Rainbow Row is absolutely beautiful! It was my first time there and they are so adorable. It will be crowded do to everyone taking photos. But its nice and breezy for being so close to the coast.

Amazing bike ride with gorgeous views

Rainbow Row is a charming little area in downtown Charleston. Its a great spot for photographers, with the beautiful natural landscape and quirky colored buildings, there is always a promising opportunity for some wonderful shots. You can also find a few fun artistic shops mostly selling locally made items among the typical Charleston tourist trinkets. If youre interested in seeing Rainbow Row my suggestion would be to park in a different location and walk the area or take one of the many carriage tours that are available.

Cute row houses painted in rainbow colors, full of history and is a delight to see.

Colorful and pretty houses. Lots of tourists clicking pictures here, so a clean shot of just the houses is not easy to get unless its really early in the day. Parking is available close by and its a quick walk from The Battery and the waterfront park with the Pineapple Fountain.

Nice spot to scroll along the water.

The history is amazing as are these glorious homes!

Ive always loved these style homes. So unique and such a neat little street.

Lovely houses and a wonderful, shady area to walk around.

Quaint charm, beautiful place to just walk the streets

Science Center that the kids had been to before and love. I was completely amazed at how much hands-on activities they have throughout the center. What is your interest? They probably have a room for that!Id have to say this place is by far the best Ive had for a restaurant! I love how the manager left me a birthday card. That was so sweet of him. Our waiter was awesome. He checked on us often to make sure everything was great and he greeted me happy birthday which was nice of him.

Great place to stroll. Thank you to bulldog tours for the VIP experience!

Super cool gentleman told us the whole story about the houses on rainbow row and how it got its name. He was full of information and very enthusiastic about the stories. When he finished his story we asked if he was a tour guide and he said nope....I just live in this old house and he disappeared into his home. Very gracious of him.

Super cute! I recommend going early in the morning as soon as the sun is up to get good pics without any people around.

Beautiful, charming, and quaint row of historical and classic Charleston

Stay close to the shade created by the buildings on a sunny day. It gets hot pretty quickly.

Great collection of old historical homes with rich history and fun facts. Try the bakers bar pizza in the base of the old confederacy bank building.

Great place to take a walk.

It was a great place to walk! I was a little disappointed because I was expecting the buildings to be as vibrant as I have seen in pictures/paintings. It was beautiful and worth seeing!

Rainbow Row is a neat collection of buildings in Charleston. I love all the colors. You get a nice breeze because youre near the water. Highly recommended!

Beautiful as always it was scorching hot in this beautiful old charm city

A good place for relaxing and spend time with family.
