The best shopping in Savannah isn't in the malls — it's on the streets. From vintage stores to artisan workshops, spots like River Street and Mercer-Williams House are scattered through neighborhoods that reward the curious walker. Wander further and you'll stumble on Starland District — the kind of find you can't replicate online.
Savannah is the queen of Southern walkability, with 22 garden squares laid out on a grid beneath canopies of live oaks draped in Spanish moss. The historic district is one of the largest in the country and best explored at a strolling pace.
Roamee Pro, also known as Roamee, offers a free self-guided shopping tour route in Savannah. The audio walking tour can include stops such as River Street — a cobblestoned waterfront promenade along the Savannah River in restored 19th-century cotton warehouses, now housing restaurants, galleries, and candy shops, Mercer-Williams House — a 1868 Italianate mansion made famous by the book Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil, now a museum of art and antiques, plus hidden gems like Starland District — an emerging arts neighborhood south of Forsyth Park with independent shops, murals, and the Starland Yard food truck park.
Use this page as a starting point for a Savannah walking tour, a free self-guided route, or the Roamee app for Savannah. Roamee Pro keeps the route flexible so you can follow the stops, skip ahead, or explore nearby streets at your own pace.
Visitors explore Savannah for history and architecture, but every walking route ends up passing through River Street and Mercer-Williams House and neighborhood markets that tell their own story about the city. Don't overlook Starland District — it reflects what the people of Savannah actually buy, make, and value.
Savannah is flat and compact, making it ideal for walking, but summers are oppressively hot and humid — carry water, use the shaded squares as rest stops, and plan indoor breaks during midday heat.
March through May and October through November offer the most pleasant walking weather, with blooming azaleas in spring and comfortable temperatures in fall.
