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.

Where to Shop

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.

Shops Worth Crossing Town For

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.

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.

Independent Bookstore · Resident Cats

E. Shaver, Bookseller

326 Bull Street, Savannah, GA 31401 · Madison Square

Honey House · Mead Tastings

Savannah Bee Company

Art & Design · Student & Alumni Work

shopSCAD

Byrd's Famous Cookies

211 W. St. Julian Street, Savannah, GA 31401 · City Market

Shops Ship Found a four-foot gilt mirror or a case of honey you can't carry home? Nearly every antique dealer and specialty shop in Savannah ships — always ask before you talk yourself out of the find.
Sunday Hours Run Short Many independent shops open late and close early on Sundays — typically noon to 5pm — and a few skip the day entirely. Save Broughton Street and City Market for Sunday; hit the indie shops Monday through Saturday.
Buy the Story The best Savannah souvenirs come with a tale attached — student art from shopSCAD, a praline pulled in front of you, a book stamped by the shop cat's home. Skip the t-shirt; take home something with a ghost of a story in it.
