No trip to Savannah is complete without a stroll down River Street. It is a festive and colorful atmosphere with many shops, restaurants, and (of course) bars. The candy stores are a destination in their own right and watching salt water taffy being made is worth your time. Watching the ships go by is also entertaining. There are many street... More

Our walks down River Street are by far my favorite part about our trip to Savannah. We loved the culture, the history, the views, and the arts. You won't be disappointed!

Walking along the river is nice, and there are some good restaurants, but the area is a little too loud and crowded for my taste. Also crowded, but with better overall feel is the old City Market area. River Street is worth a visit but there are nicer areas nearby.

Yes, it's a tourist area, but the shops are quaint and some have local art which is lovely. Sample fresh taffy in the sweet shop or a wide variety of nuts in the peanut house. then stop for a great meal at one of the many restaurants while watching the boat traffic...a very enjoyable treat!

River street is a must see from the huge boats going thru,to the restaurants making up most of it,they have everything from seafood,to steak,and several bars along the strip,if you are looking to try the "artillery punch" they talked about in midnight in the garden of good and evil,go to riverhouse seafood restaurant and order it, while we were there...
