River Street Savannah, GA
Savannah's River Street is one of the most iconic and vibrant areas of Savannah, Georgia, offering a perfect blend of history, charm, and modern attractions. Located along the Savannah River, about 1.5 miles from Amethyst Garden Inn, this historic waterfront district is known for its picturesque, bustling atmosphere, and scenic views. Originally built in the early 19th century, River Street retains its old-world charm with historic buildings that once served as cotton warehouses. These have been transformed into shops, restaurants, bars, and hotels. The cobblestone streets, made from ballast stones brought by ships, add to the district’s unique aesthetic.
River Street is a hub for festivals and events throughout the year including St. Patrick’s Day festivities, Oktoberfest, and the Fourth of July fireworks show. The riverwalk provides stunning views of the Savannah River, where visitors can watch large cargo ships, riverboats, and ferries pass by.
