Plan Your Visit · Savannah, Georgia
Shopping in Savannah
Savannah shops the way it does everything else — with character. Independent booksellers with resident cats, honey houses, student art, vintage treasure troves, and a four-story antique store inside a crumbling mansion. Leave room in your suitcase.
The Main Corridor
Broughton Street
Savannah's principal shopping street — a mix of beloved local institutions (The Paris Market, Savannah Bee, Leopold's) and national brands beneath historic facades. Walk it end to end; the local gems hide between the familiar names.
Souvenirs & Sweets
River Street & City Market
The waterfront and the open-air market are souvenir central — praline shops, candy kitchens, galleries, and gift stores in centuries-old cotton warehouses. Touristy, yes, but the candy makers pulling pralines in the windows are the real thing.
Antiques & Interiors
The Design District
The blocks along Whitaker Street south of Jones — antique dealers, interior design showrooms, and galleries clustered in one of the prettiest walking stretches in the Historic District. Serious hunting for serious collectors.
Vintage & Indie
Starland District
South of Forsyth Park, Savannah's artsy quarter is the place for vintage fashion, records, local makers, murals, and indie boutiques — browse Bull Street's 40s blocks, then refuel at a coffee shop between finds.
Saturdays · 9am–1pm
Forsyth Farmers' Market
Every Saturday morning, year-round, the south end of Forsyth Park fills with local growers, bakers, and makers. Come for produce and honey, stay for the people-watching under the oaks. Free and beloved.
Local Art
City Market Galleries
The upper floors of City Market house working artist studios and galleries — two levels of local painters and makers you can often watch at work. The best place in town to buy art directly from the hands that made it.
Antiques · Four Floors of an Unrestored Mansion
Alex Raskin Antiques
441 Bull Street, Savannah, GA 31401 · Monterey Square
The most atmospheric shop in Savannah: four floors of antiques filling the Noble Hardee Mansion, one of the last grand unrestored houses in the city — peeling paint, sagging porches, and treasures stacked to the ceilings. Browsing here feels like trespassing through time. Not to be missed, whether you buy or not.

Curiosities · Gifts · Café
The Paris Market & Brocante
36 W. Broughton Street, Savannah, GA 31401
Savannah's most beautiful store — two floors of French-inspired antiques, apothecary goods, jewelry, books, and curiosities, with a charming café up front for a macaron and matcha between finds. The window displays alone are worth the walk down Broughton.
HoursDaily; Sundays from 11am
Independent Bookstore · Resident Cats
E. Shaver, Bookseller
326 Bull Street, Savannah, GA 31401 · Madison Square
A beloved indie bookshop sprawling through twelve rooms of a 19th-century building beside Madison Square — superb local history and fiction sections, a working typewriter corner, and resident cats patrolling the stacks. The perfect place to pick up your Savannah reading.
HoursDaily; Sundays from noon
Honey House · Mead Tastings
Savannah Bee Company
104 W. Broughton Street, Savannah, GA 31401
The flagship of Savannah's famous honey house — endless free honey samples (the tupelo and sourwood are revelations), bee-made body care, and a mead tasting bar in the back. The single easiest gift stop in the city, and dangerously easy to leave with a full bag.
HoursDaily, 10am–8pm
Art & Design · Student & Alumni Work
shopSCAD
340 Bull Street, Savannah, GA 31401 · Madison Square
Everything in this gallery-shop was made by SCAD students, faculty, and alumni — paintings, prints, jewelry, candles, stationery, and design objects you won't find anywhere else on Earth. The most original souvenir in Savannah, and your purchase supports a working artist.
HoursDaily; Sundays from noon
Handmade Leather · Made in Savannah

HoursDaily; Sundays from 11am
The Book Lady Bookstore
6 E. Liberty Street, Savannah, GA 31401
A treasure-hunter's used and rare bookshop — towering shelves, out-of-print finds, and excellent local history. The counterpart to E. Shaver for those who like their books pre-loved.
House of Strut
20 W. State Street, Savannah, GA 31401
Curated vintage fashion with serious flair — designer finds, statement pieces, and an owner with an eye that's made this a Savannah favorite for a decade.
Picker Joe's Antique Mall

A sprawling two-level antique mall on the southside packed with vintage furniture, collectibles, clothing, and oddities — plus an ice cream counter for mid-hunt fuel. Plan plenty of time.
Chocolat by Adam Turoni
323 W. Broughton Street, Savannah, GA 31401
Handcrafted chocolates displayed like jewelry in a gilded, library-themed shop — honey-sea salt caramels and bonbons almost too beautiful to eat. Almost.
River Street Sweets
13 E. River Street, Savannah, GA 31401
The original riverfront candy kitchen, pulling world-famous pralines in the window since 1973 — free warm samples at the door, gift boxes that ship anywhere, and homemade ice cream for the stroll.
Byrd's Famous Cookies
