Review & FAQ:

Gateway Walk is an historic walkway in downtown Charleston, originally established in 1930 by the Garden Club of Charleston. The walkway traverses several of the city's historic streets and cemeteries, embarking at the west cemetery at Saint Philip's Episcopal Church and traveling through the grounds of the city's Circular Church, Gibbes Museum sculpture courtyard, and Unitarian Church before ending at Saint John's Lutheran Church. It is open to the public daily for travel during daylight hours, though certain sections may be closed at church and cemetery discretion at various times throughout the week. A number of beautiful historic gateways are showcased along the walk, which provides opportunities to view some of the city's most historic buildings and graveyards. Free street parking is available at a number of sites near the walkway.
