Me and my fiancé were here multiple times during our stay in the area. This place was amazing on tge weekend with live music, fun dancing in the streets, nice people, and an amazing atmosphere. We definitely recommend it to those that love to dance and be social. It is also nice during the day with a park, restaurants, carriage... More

We passed here on a trolley tour and there seemed to be a good buzz about the place with live music and people dancing in the street. So once we had finished the tour we went back to the market to see what was going on. Lots of shops and restaurants but what made it for us was the live... More

We really enjoyed walking though the City Market as there are some nice resturants and shops. The only negative thing would be this is more of a mid day or evening spot because several businesses were not open or ready for customers at 10 AM on a weekday.

This was so interesting. Paula Deen's restaurant was down the street and lots of shops and restaurants. Also a fountain where you could sit and enjoy the breeze under the trees. Also it was a nice place to catch the tour bus back to your car from all your shopping and touring the Historic District.

When in Savannah, you will want to visit the City Market. This is a great place where pedestrians can move around easily to enjoy the beautiful flowers, shopping, dining, or take a carriage ride. The City Market also has art galleries and unique gifts for all and it's easy to get to it from the HO HO trolley.

City Market is in the historic distric, but is not historic, it is a tourist place. With that said, we loved it here. Enjoyed the local crafts and esp liked the Wine shop and the Candy store. Plenty of places to eat except do NOT eat at Anna's they are truly horrible, poor service and terrible food. Good pizza and... More

This was a fun shopping area. Good walk and the buildings around Ellis Square are gorgeous. Lots of restaurants with patios to eat on. From here my recommendation is to go down to the river and walk along that.
