River Street
Quote:
When visiting Savannah, River Street is an area that should not be missed! From the small local shops, smells of candy making, and entertaining street performers, any family will enjoy a visit to River Street. One of my favorite places on River Street is the candy store, River Street Sweets. During a visit to River Street Sweets, you will often have the opportunity to sample some delicious candy and observe taffy being made.

One of the must-see, must-do things in Savannah is the renowned River Street. The street sits idyllically along the beautiful Savannah River. Today it is a one-stop entertainment center.

At the end of our Historic District tour, River Street was the second to the last stop on our tour. So we got off of the bus to do some shopping and to take pictures along the riverfront.
From River Street you have a great view of the 'sailboat bridge', which takes you to and from Savannah. There were many local artists out with their sketchbooks, and even a street performer.
There are many shops and restaurants along the riverfront. Great for purchasing your Savannah souvenirs. With all of the benches along the riverfront, it's also a great place to relax and catch your breath.

Any Savannah tour would be remiss if it did not include at least a short walk down River Street. Home to over sixty restaurants, shops and other businesses, River Street is a very popular tourist destination. It can actually get a bit crowded and crazy in the evenings, but I would advise a stroll next to the river anyway. There are several nice restaurants to choose from. Souvenirs are easily acquired from any number of shops. The bridge spanning the river makes for a beautiful skyline, and the orignal cobblestones on the street add a lot of charm. The Hyatt on River Street is a good luxury hotel in which to spend a weekend if you are looking for accomodations in the area. St. Patrick's Day down by the River is a crazy time of year,...
