HISTORIC DISTRICT. A Savannah tradition, the original City Market opened in 1755 as a fish, game and produce market. Although the historic structure no longer stands, the Historical Savannah Foundation eventually constructed a new market on the same property. Today, this charming town center houses art galleries, specialty shops, restaurants, pubs, and cafes, and several trolley and carriage tours start here. On weekends, live bands frequently entertain in the courtyards.

RIVERFRONT. No trip to Savannah is complete without a trip down world-famous River Street. Lined with shops and restaurants on one side and bordered by the Savannah River on the other, River Street is a great place to sightsee, eat seafood, buy souvenirs, have a cocktail, and watch the huge ships go by. River Street is also the site of many festivities throughout the year, including the St. Patrick's Day celebration and fireworks on July 4th and New Year's Eve.
