Things To Do

ATTRACTIONS

River Street Savannah Georgia

A commercial walkway along the river. Perfect for a lazy stroll. Also good place to find a bench and people-watch. Basically, has something for everyone.

J.W. Marriott Savannah Plant Riverside District

Explore 5 million year old towering geodes and dinosaur replicas all located in the lobby of the JW Marriott recently converted from the city's old power plant building. Lots of adjoining restaurants, outdoor bars and cafes, and usually live performances as well.

Savannah's 22 Public Squares

Chippewa Square is one of the most known squares in all of Savannah. Even Forrest Gump has visited this great place

Forsyth Park

A majestic 30-acre park lined with Savannah's famous Southern Live Oak trees, known for huge drapes of Spanish moss hanging from its branches. The park is equally famous for its fountain- installed in 1858 and modeled after the fountains at the Place de la Concorde in Paris.

Wormsloe Historic Site

The Wormsloe Historic Site was once the colonial estate of carpenter Noble Jones, who came to Georgia with James Oglethorpe in 1733. This former plantation is the site of the oldest standing structure in Savannah.

TOURS

Trolley Tours

There are a number of trolley tours exploring all of the attractions that Savannah has to offer as well as its various neighborhoods. Trolley stops are conveniently located throughout the city and many operators allow customers to hop on and off at their leisure.

Riverboat Cruises

There are many operators of traditional riverboats combining modern-day amenities with old-world elegance that cruise the Savannah River. These cruises can provide sightseeing, narration by the Captain, and meals/drinks as well as other entertainment.

Ghost Tours

Savannah is one of America's most haunted cities! The city was built on Native American burial grounds; has endured violence between settlers and slaves; has survived epidemics and hurricanes. There are no shortage of ghosts and vengeful spirits lurking!

THE BEACH

Tybee Island and Hilton Head.

For those of you staying longer, you may want to check out the beaches at Tybee Island and Hilton Head.

WHERE TO EAT!

For a small city, Savannah has far too many eateries for us to have tried them all. Below are just a few our favorites (meaning that we have been to them more than once). The link provides a good list to start from.

Zunzi's

South African-inspired takeout in the deep South! I'm not sure what the connection is.....but it works! Great place for tasty sandwiches and good drinks. Has outdoor seating.

Leopold's Ice Cream

Serving ice cream for over 100 years, Leopold's is a must for a sweet treat! Do not leave Savannah before trying this!
