A Stunning Drone Tour of Charleston, the World's Best City

There is a very good reason why Charleston topped the list of the 2015 World's Best Cities. In fact, there are many reasons—even Stephen Colbert can't help but get excited when it comes to his hometown. There are plenty of fun things to do at any point in the year, amazing hotels that can only be properly appreciated in person, antique stores to explore around every corner, and the entire city oozes Southern charm.

But even without all of the pull of its many attractions, Charleston is just a beautiful city. Sometimes you have to get away from the bustle of its streets to truly enjoy what a great city it is. Thankfully, drones give us that opportunity. Sit back, relax, and take an aerial tour of this coastal city above.
