These steps are rough. The area is amazing! Go eat, drink, people watching, boat rides, ect. Amazing way to spend a day make sure you walk all the way both ways and check out everywhere

Believe it or not, if these steps aren't exciting enough for you, there are other historic steps nearby

Rate a set of stairs? OK. First, there are several of them around the river area, and I'm not sure which ones I'm rating. They Might Be Giants. The memorable one was the one with really tall steps. I'm not a civil engineer, so I don't know what is involved in designing a staircase. I guess you have a certain elevation to cover at a certain angle, and if you want a straight staircase (not circular or 'switchback'), you're kind of locked into how high each step can be if they're going to be 'deep' enough for your whole foot. In this case, really tall. Pictures don't do them justice. Other people climbing those stairs remarked on it. I guess I'm glad they kept this history and didn't just replace it with something more modern (options are available nearby). That's kind of the story of Savannah - it took some effort to preserve the history, and I'm glad someone did.

I didn’t realize I was walking up a national landmark until I was walking up a national landmark. I can’t wait until I see the historic sidewalk. PEAK

These Historic Steps unfold like a quiet meditation on life and death over Savannah and , ultimately, ourselves. Each aged and weathered stone bears the burdensome imprint of countless ascents and descents, as though the past lingers not in grand declarations of accomplishments but in the steady erosion of returning to nothingness; to climb them is to trace the fragile line between presence and absence, where every rise suggests effort and every weathered edge hints at what has been lost. While their reputation leans heavily on history, what they truly offer is a subtle reminder that all things—people, moments, memories, even stone—are shaped, diminished, and ultimately cease to exist over the inevitability of time's passage and the universe's cruel indifference to our existence. 5 stars
