Things To Do
Shop 'til You Drop
Broughton Street is the place for serious shoppers. Here, you’ll find the perfect Savannah-made souvenir at local shops and boutiques, like Savannah Bee Company, Nourish and The Salt Table.
Stroll Through the Park
Forsyth Park is perfect for lounging in the grass or throwing a Frisbee. Dating back to the 1840s, Forsyth Park occupies 30 acres in the Historic District. The iconic water fountain at the center is a landmark, but Fragrant Garden, walking trails and a quaint cafe make for a relaxing spot on your itinerary.
Take a Walk
Go on a walk with one of the most charismatic tour guides in town! Savannah Dan Walking Tours offers an intimate, laid-back tour of the city. Dressed in an old-fashioned suit, Dan points out landmarks in his own charming way that will have you laughing throughout the walk.
Stroll Along the Savannah River
One could not come to Savannah without admiring the river on River Street. The old cobblestone streets weave you through historic buildings, housing shops and restaurants. This scenic stroll is a must-do. The rooftop bar at the new JW Marriott is great place to relax your feet and take in the views.
Iconic Drives
A breathtaking boulevard sheltered by live oaks and Spanish moss leads to the oldest standing structure in Savannah. Wormsloe Historic Site is home to the colonial estate of Noble Jones who arrived in Georgia with James Oglethorpe in 1733. Today, visitors can interact with costumed interpreters during programs and events and view a museum with artifacts unearthed on site.
Hit the Beach
Rest and relaxation on Tybee Island is only 20 minutes away from Savannah’s Historic District. A visit to the coast wouldn’t be complete without indulging in local seafood, exploring the island’s wildlife and unwinding by the ocean.
Sistine of the South
With majestic peaks that pierce the sky and 81 stained glass windows, it’s no wonder why the Cathedral of St. John the Baptist may be the most photographed landmark in Savannah. The Cathedral is a peaceful place to soak in history and beauty.
Screamin' for Ice Cream?
For almost a century, Leopold’s Ice Cream has been serving old-fashioned treats to hungry visitors. From homemade super-premium ice cream to made from scratch soups, sandwiches, salads and freshly baked treats, the old parlor is a step back in time.
Kayak the Back Waters
There’s no better way to experience the stunning marshes and rivers of Savannah’s Lowcountry than by kayaking on them. Moon River Kayak Tours allows you the opportunity to get up close and personal with nature and history. Explore the protected waters of Skidaway Narrows, admire eagles and osprey soaring in the sky, and spot dolphins and otters!
Try Local Brews!
Get a real taste of the city by sampling its locally brewed beer. Southbound Brewing Company, Service Brewing Company, Coastal Empire Brewing Co., and Moon River Brewing Co. offer guests the chance to see how the beer is made on a tour of their fascinating facility. But the best part is tasting the finished product. Not interested in beer? Try a tour at Ghost Coast Distillery, Savannah’s first operational distillery since before Prohibition. At Ghost Coast Distillery, you can tour the facilities, see how vodka is made and sample the spirits!
