A route you drive or walk yourself, in your own car, on your own day.
Twelve Kildare locations inside the old city, on foot. The church where Pope finds the wall, the dungeon under the Exchange, the pier, and the tavern dressed as somebody else's club.
All of them, free to read. Which one is closest right now? The app sorts them as you go. With The Week ›

The scene
Where John B and Big John go looking in season three.
The Charleston Museum calls itself America's first museum and was founded in 1773. It plays itself, which is rare enough in this show to be worth saying: the building on screen is the building, doing its actual job.

The scene
The law library Sarah and John B search for the Denmark Tanny records.
The Gaillard is Charleston's concert hall and it plays a university library in Chapel Hill. The interior is the part that reads on screen; the outside is unmistakably a modern performing arts centre and is not what you see.

The Week
The Week does not unlock this route: every stop is free to read here. It guides you through it on the day. On foot, it sorts the stops by the one closest to you and tells you as you arrive. It covers the other 6 routes as well, so the next one costs you nothing extra.
$9 for 7 days · One payment, nothing renews.
Your seven days start in town, when you press Start the day on a paid route or arrive at one of its stops.
The app is on iPhone November 5. The Week is bought inside it, so there is nothing to pay for until then.
It starts at The Charleston Museum, 360 Meeting St, Charleston, SC and ends at Two Meeting Street Inn, 2 Meeting St, Charleston, SC. The stops are ordered so the route does not double back.
About 4h for 12 stops, covering 3.7 miles. That is measured walking time plus the time each stop is worth, not the walk alone.
The locations, the order and what was filmed at each are free to read on this page. The Week covers carrying the route in the app, which sorts the stops by how far away you are, tells you when you have arrived while it is open, and keeps its map and photographs when there is no signal.
Not all of them are walk-ups. The Charleston Museum needs a ticket; The Old Exchange and Provost Dungeon needs a ticket; Edmondston-Alston House needs a ticket. The rest are public and free to stand at.

The pier where John B and Sarah kiss in the rain, coming back from the mainland.
Season one, episode four. They come back on the Carolina Belle and the kiss is filmed on the Maritime Center pier, which is a working small boat harbour on the Cooper River.

04The scene
Dressed as the Piety Street Club, with East Bay Street standing in for New Orleans.
Season five, episode seven. Ellie's High House is on the same stretch of East Bay Street, which is how one block plays a New Orleans neighbourhood. The bar itself has been open since 1954 and was not redressed inside.

The outside of the church Pope finds the way into.
Season four, episode five. This is the exterior and the graveyard; the aisle and the altar under it are the Unitarian Church a few streets away. Two buildings playing one church is ordinary practice, and it is why the churchyard you see outside does not match the inside.

06The scene
Where John B and Sarah go in for the wardrobe upgrade before Chapel Hill.
Ben Silver is a real King Street clothier and has been since 1967. The scene is a shopping montage rather than a plot point, which is why it is a stop you look at rather than one you spend time on.

The church interior, where Pope finds the way into the catacombs under the altar.
Season four, episode five. The exterior of the church in that sequence is Circular Congregational, a few streets away; the inside is this one. Two buildings playing one church is ordinary practice and it is why the graveyard you see outside does not match the aisle you see inside.

Where Sarah and John B walk after coming off the ferry.
A small square behind City Hall, half a block off Broad Street. It is one of the quietest corners downtown and takes about ten minutes, which is the whole reason it works as a walking-and-talking shot.

The scene
The catacombs and the crypt, where Sarah and Pope get locked in as the water rises.
Season four, episode five. The Provost Dungeon under the Old Exchange is the brick cellar the treasure hunt ends up in, and it is open to visitors as a museum rather than as a set.

Where Pope and Cleo talk, in season three, episode three.
Joe Riley Waterfront Park runs along the Cooper River with the pineapple fountain at one end and the pier at the other. The conversation is a quiet two-hander, so the park is the location rather than a backdrop to anything.

The scene
Carla Limbrey's house.
The Edmondston-Alston House on East Battery plays Limbrey's. It is a house museum rather than a private home, so unlike most of the houses in this show you can go inside, and the piazza looking over the harbour is the view that gets used.

The scene
A bed and breakfast on the corner of Meeting Street and South Battery, reported as one of the places that played Singh's manor.
Season three. Kiara and Rafe are held at Carlos Singh's estate, and one fan guide reports their scenes there as filmed at this inn. Netflix's own guide places Singh's estate at the Lion Castle Estate in Barbados, so if the inn is in the episode it is a partial location rather than the house you see from the drive. It is a working bed and breakfast: the garden and the verandah are for guests, and the pavement on Meeting Street is the vantage point.
