Charleston is a city with a style. A style all its own ... upbeat, cosmopolitan, contemporary, yet friendly and full of down-home hospitality. West Virginia's largest city is a vibrant and progressive state capital that is also a hub of regional coal and chemical commerce. The city's riverfront skyline is distinguished by gleaming towers of commerce forming a backdrop for its collection of classic Art Nouveau and Deco buildings. First-class hotels, fine restaurants, a large civic center and the two downtown shopping areas are all within easy walking distance.

In Charleston you can dine and dance on a riverboat, get caught up in the excitement of greyhound dog racing, walk along the tree-lined riverbank or while away the hours in museums and art galleries. Charleston is a great place to visit and a great place to live.
