Enjoy this breathtaking look at Charleston from up above by Jared Minnex

Charleston, South Carolina, has once again charmed Travel + Leisure readers, winning the top spot in the World’s Best Awards for Best Cities in the U.S. for the 10th year in a row.

There’s a reason people keep going back to Charleston: the city expresses the perfect balance of Southern charm, knockout food and drinks, and walkability. Many readers also found the city’s history to be a draw. Others appreciated the simple pleasures of strolling the side streets of downtown.

I recently went to visit and was blown away by the diverse landscapes from the historical downtown, tropical-like islands, and almost eerie swamplands.

All footage was shot on the DJI Mavic Air 2 and colored in Premiere Pro. Footage includes Cyprus Gardens, Mount Pleasant, Folly Beach, Isle Of Palms, Sullivans Island, Downtown Charleston, and Morris Island.
