Savannah’s River Street

what to see do river street savannah georgia usa

After being let off by the Uber driver in downtown Savannah, Georgia, and not knowing where to start, we headed towards what must be the city’s most famous landmark, River Street. And even though it is touristic in the thousands, it is a nice place to go for a stroll. Along a cobbled street with not-in-useĀ streetcar rails, lined with old, brickĀ cotton warehouses hosting shops, restaurants and bars on one side, and on the other side a waterfront promenade with views of Savannah River and the cargo ships making their, at timesĀ narrow, way down theĀ Intracoastal Waterway. River Street might feel a bit off, like separated from the rest of the city, but it is probably due to its low-laying location, accessible down aĀ steep, little bluff, through staircases and alleyways scattered along the street.
