Go on a Savannah history tour Go on a Savannah history tour
U.S. News Insider Tip: If you want a totally unique experience, there are also bike tours, dog-walking tours, a comedy trolley tour called "Savannah for Morons" and food tours. – Tanvi Chauhan, Contributor, Travel
Savannah's recorded history stretches back to 1733 when General James Oglethorpe docked his ship on the Savannah River and named this new territory (and America's 13th colony) "Georgia." You can hear all about Savannah's past and the events that shaped its present on a history tour. What's more, you won't have any trouble finding a tour that suits your interests, Savannah boasts a bevy of city tours – from architecture to ghosts to photography – for a variety of travelers.
Take a walk in Forsyth Park Take a walk in Forsyth Park free
U.S. News Insider Tip: If you are visiting in the fall, check out the free weeklong Savannah Jazz Festival in the park, which features local vendors and food trucks. – Tanvi Chauhan, Contributor, Travel
Go to this 30-acre park in the heart of Savannah's Historic District to relax after a long day of sightseeing. Keep your camera ready, though, as there is plenty to see here as well. Stroll past the stunning white-stone Forsyth Fountain, memorials dedicated to the Spanish-American War, the Fragrant Garden for the visually impaired and the 300-year-old Candler Oak tree. From the park, you can see several historic sites within walking distance, including the Mercer-Williams House Museum and the Sorrel Weed House .
Cathedral Basilica of St. John the Baptist Cathedral Basilica of St. John the Baptist free
Towering over Lafayette Square in the Historic District, the Cathedral Basilica of St. John the Baptist's Gothic towers should lure in any architecture buff. The original cathedral was established in 1799 by the first French colonists to arrive in the area. The brick structure you see today is not the original (since its founding, the church moved locations and was partially rebuilt following a fire in 1898), but the cathedral still impresses visitors with its imposing spires, Italian marble altar and stunning stained-glass windows. What's more, a Catholic cathedral of this size is a bit of a rarity in the South, where Catholicism is not the dominant religion.
Most travelers who took the time to see this cathedral were flabbergasted by its beauty, comparing it to Europe's medieval churches. Even if you're not interested in attending Mass, you should still set aside 10 to 15 minutes to take a brief peek inside the stunning interior. However, recent visitors said attending Mass here is worth considering (even if you're not Catholic), thanks to the beautiful atmosphere and talented choir. Feel free to take a self-guided tour inside the cathedral, but remember to be respectful as it's still an active house of worship.
Savannah City Market Savannah City Market free
U.S. News Insider Tip: Amid the attractions within City Market, the American Prohibition Museum is an unexpected find. It features cool exhibits and an authentic speakeasy serving up the Chatham Artillery punch – rumored to be made using a recipe that dates back to 1870! – Tanvi Chauhan, Contributor, Travel
If you're planning to tour Savannah's Historic District, City Market is a great place to start. Spread out across four blocks, the open-air marketplace features restored warehouses sheltering everything from restaurants to boutiques to art galleries. When you're not shopping, listening to live music or enjoying a casual bite to eat, simply sit and people-watch: past visitors said this area is great for resting tired feet and taking in the Savannah scene. Plus, City Market is also a popular drop-off point for trolley and carriage tours , so if you need to kill time before or after your tour, plan to check out the market.
River Street River Street free
Running alongside the Savannah River in the Waterfront district is River Street, a lively area perfect for afternoon strolls. The cobblestone street is lined with more than 75 souvenir shops, galleries, restaurants and pubs housed in old cotton warehouses. It's also the place to go for pub crawls, making it attractive to party-seekers, and thus, slightly less family-friendly after dark. Plus, the area comes alive with street musicians after the sun sets.
Recent visitors recommended spending a few hours here for the gorgeous river views and excellent people-watching. Many also recommended the restaurants here.
Wormsloe State Historic Site Wormsloe State Historic Site
Right up there with Forsyth Park and River Street , Wormsloe State Historic Site is one of Savannah's top attractions. Even if you never heard of the site, you've likely seen it in pictures: its star attraction is the mile-long avenue leading to the former plantation, which is lined on both sides by towering live oak trees dressed in Spanish moss.
Most travelers venture here for the free photo-op alone, but what lies beyond the entryway is also worth your attention. Here you'll find the ruins of Wormsloe, the oldest standing structure in Savannah and the Colonial estate of Noble Jones, a carpenter who came to Georgia in 1733 with James Oglethorpe and the first group of settlers from England. In the 1750s, Jones used a group of enslaved people to maintain the property, plant crops like cotton, grains and vegetables, and keep Wormsloe profitable. Along with the ruins, visitors can tour a small museum featuring artifacts unearthed at Wormsloe and watch a brief film about the site and Georgia's founding. There's also a 7-mile-long interpretative nature trail that runs along a marsh on the Skidaway River, as well as costumed interpreters demonstrating the tools and skills of Colonial Georgia.
Tour Fort Pulaski National Monument Tour Fort Pulaski National Monument
Named for Revolutionary War hero Casimir Pulaski, this 19th-century fort was originally constructed to defend Savannah from coastal attacks. Notably, it was here that Gen. Robert E. Lee was first assigned after graduating from West Point. During the Civil War, it was occupied by Confederate troops until being surrendered to Union forces in 1862.
Fort Pulaski was also a safe haven for enslaved people as part of the Underground Railroad. Union Maj. Gen. David Hunter issued an order in April 1862 stating: "All persons of color lately held in involuntary service by enemies of the United States in Fort Pulaski and on Cockspur Island, Georgia are hereby confiscated and declared free." As such, many enslaved people came to Fort Pulaski and once on the island, began a free life on the Georgia coast. Meanwhile, others joined to form one of the first colored troops divisions in the Civil War. Hundreds of enslaved people were granted freedom as a result of Hunter's order.
Bonaventure Cemetery Bonaventure Cemetery free
While a stroll through a cemetery may sound a little morbid, a visit to the more than 100-acre Bonaventure Cemetery is a must for lovers of the written word. Originally called the Evergreen Cemetery (and occupying land previously used for a plantation), the Victorian-style cemetery was purchased by the city of Savannah in 1907 and redesigned to its current size. Keep your eyes peeled for the tombstones of such celebrities as poet Conrad Aiken and lyricist Johnny Mercer. You should also make a point of looking for the grave of Danny Hansford (buried in the neighboring Greenwich Cemetery), whose murder inspired John Berendt's best-selling book, "Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil."
According to many visitors, the hauntingly beautiful Bonaventure won't disappoint, but travelers said that bug spray, a water bottle and comfortable walking shoes are a must. You can tour the cemetery on your own, but recent visitors said you should also consider signing up for a guided tour to gain a better understanding of the cemetery's intriguing history.

A FIRST-TIMER’S GUIDE TO SAVANNAH, GEORGIA
This post may contain affiliate links. As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases. We may receive a small commission when you make a purchase using our link.
Savannah, Georgia is one of the most beautiful and fascinating cities in the Southern United States. It has been painstakingly preserved and restored, so visiting this small Southern city feels like stepping back in time.
From the live oaks dripping with Spanish moss to the elegant antebellum mansions, Savannah maintains the look and feel of another time.
Despite its historic charm, Savannah is also a very forward-thinking city, with a vibrant arts culture and a bohemian feel. It’s also the perfect place to spend a weekend exploring local food, history, culture, and shopping!
Here are my top tips for your first time visiting Savannah!
GETTING AROUND SAVANNAH
Savannah is a very pedestrian-friendly city . When it was first founded, it was laid out in a grid pattern around 22 tree-lined public squares.
These beautiful historic squares make walking around is very enjoyable, and you can easily get around all of downtown and the historic district on foot.
That being said, there is very little public transportation in Savannah, so if you want to go further afield (like to nearby Tybee Island on the coast) you will need a car. Uber and taxis are available around most of Savannah.
WHAT TO DO IN SAVANNAH
There is so much to do in Savannah, whether you’re interested in history, food, arts, or culture. Here are some of my top recommendations for things to do on your visit to Savannah:
- Forsyth Park : This beautiful park is a popular spot for locals and tourists alike. You can easily spend a whole afternoon relaxing under the live oaks and people-watching.
- Visit the Riverfront : Savannah was once a bustling port city, and the riverfront area has now been turned into a bustling shopping street.
- Check out an Art Museum : Savannah is a city known for art – after all, it’s home to the famous Savannah College of Art and Design. If you want to check out some art on your visit I recommend the SCAD Museum or the Telfair Museum .
- Walk through Savannah’s squares : Savannah contains 22 historic squares, each one like a miniature park. Some of the prettiest squares are Monterey Square, Lafayette Square, and Oglethorpe Square.
- Go shopping : From local boutiques to unique design stores to gourmet candy stories, you can find it all in Savannah. One of the best places to go shopping in the city is Broughton Street.
- Bonaventure Cemetery : Made famous by the book Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil, Bonaventure Cemetery is a beautiful (and creepy!) cemetery with lots of Southern Gothic flair.
- Take a ghost tour : Savannah is supposedly one of the most haunted cities in the United States, after New Orleans. There are plenty of ghost tours running nightly that will take you through some of the city’s spookiest spots.
- Eat some comfort food : Don’t miss eating some authentic Southern comfort food on your trip to Savannah! The best place for it is Mrs. Wilkes’ Dining Room , where you’ll be served heaping plates of comfort food “family style” at communal tables.
WHERE TO STAY IN SAVANNAH
There are countless places to stay in Savannah , from large hotel chains to smaller boutique properties to unique Airbnbs.
To get a true local experience, it’s best to book one of the amazing Airbnbs in Savannah !
If a hotel is more your style, some of the best-reviewed properties include:
- Ballastone Inn
- Kehoe House
- Perry Lane Hotel
- Andaz Savannah
WHERE TO EAT
Savannah is famous for its Southern cuisine. Some local specialties are pimento cheese, buttermilk biscuits, fried green tomatoes, fried chicken, grits, pecan pie, and pralines! Here are a few of my favorite places to eat :
- Cafe M : This adorable French patisserie right by the river has delicious macarons, pain au chocolat, and croissants. It’s the perfect place to stop for a quick breakfast or snack.
- Collins Quarter : Run by Australian expats, Collins Quarter is the best place to go for brunch in Savannah. They have delicious brunch favorites like avocado toast, eggs Benedict, and brioche French toast.
- Soho South Cafe : Chic, fun restaurant housed in a former automotive service station. Really good soups and sandwiches, perfect for lunch or dinner.
- Mrs. Wilkes’ Dining Room : If you only eat one meal in Savannah, it should be lunch at Mrs. Wilkes’ Dining Room! Family owned since 1943, this restaurant serves traditional Southern comfort food at communal tables. They’re only open from 11 AM to 2 PM on weekdays, so get there early to avoid waiting in line!
- Leopold’s Ice Cream : After a long day of walking around in the heat, Leopold’s is the perfect place to stop for some delicious ice cream to cool you down.
WHERE TO SHOP IN SAVANNAH
If you love shopping, here are some of the most popular shopping streets in the city!
- Broughton Street : Broughton Street is the main shopping street in the city. You’ll find brand name stores like Free People and Urban Outfitters along with smaller boutiques. Don’t miss the beautiful Paris Market concept store.
- Whitaker Street : Located near Forsyth Park in Savannah’s Downtown Design District, Whitaker Street is home to lots of cute boutiques and design stores.
- River Street : This charming cobblestone street is located right along the river, as the name implies. While it’s pretty touristy, it’s the perfect place to go if you want to do some Savannah souvenir shopping!
THE BEST TIME TO VISIT SAVANNAH
In my opinion, the best time of year to visit is fall ! Many of the historic mansions will be decorated beautifully with pumpkins and fall foliage, and if you’re interested in the spooky/haunted aspect of the city, then what better time is there to go than around Halloween?
The weather is subtropical meaning it is warm and humid all the time. Summers are the hottest, with temperatures reaching into the nineties during most of June through August. Spring and fall are a little cooler, but even during winter it never gets truly “cold” in Savannah with temperatures rarely dipping below the sixties!
READ BEFORE YOU GO
I highly recommend reading Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil by John Berendt before your visit. This is the book that launched Savannah to fame in the 1990s. Before its publication, Savannah had been forgotten about by most of the country. However, this book revitalized tourism in the city and made it more popular than ever.
It’s a dramatic retelling of a true crime story that occurred in Savannah in the 1980s, and it paints a fascinating portrayal of Savannah, its history, and its residents. If you weren’t already planning a trip, reading this book will make you want to book a plane ticket and go as soon as you can!
OTHER PLACES TO SEE
I’ve covered most of the top activities, places to eat, and places to shop, but I wanted to include a few other famous sights and landmarks that are worth stopping by at during your trip:
- Cathedral of St. John the Baptist : a Beautiful church that’s supposedly haunted.
- Chippewa Square : Home to the famous bench where Forrest Gump sat!
- Mercer House : The historic mansion from Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil.
- Jones Street : Voted the most beautiful street in America by Southern Living.
- Owens-Thomas House : Another beautiful historic mansion in Savannah.
- Sorrel-Weed House : a Historic mansion that is also supposedly haunted!
- Juliette Gordon Low House : Home to the founder of the Girl Scouts.
- ShopSCAD : Buy local art from SCAD students and alumni.
Savannah, Georgia is truly a wonderful city and I hope this post has inspired you to plan a visit sometime soon!

Where to Stay

This 167-room property, part of Marriott’s Autograph Collection, strikes the perfect balance between Southern charm and modern indulgence.

The Pursuitist Tips:

Where to Eat & Drink
Make your first Savannah stop the Grey , a chic eatery by Johno Morisano and Chef Mashama Bailey that is housed in a converted 1938 art deco Greyhound bus terminal. Chef Mashama has garnered national acclaim for her inventive Southern dishes like chicken bog and lobster mac and cheese. The Grey, one of my all-time favorite restaurants, never fails to delight and surprise diners with its seasonal ingredients and constantly changing menu of inventive comfort food. Beyond its inventive cuisine, the Grey impresses with its cool, converted space in Savannah’s Historic District, exuding a warm and welcoming spirit.
- Opt for a cocktail like the El Colectivo with juice made in-house.
- Make reservations in advance as walk-ins are not accepted.
- Ask your server for recommendations to get a taste of Savannah’s Lowcountry cuisine.
In the evening, indulge in the ultimate farm-to-table experience at Local 11 Ten. Chef Brett Cavanna sources from farmers and producers within 100 miles to craft dishes like rare seared yellowfin tuna or the pan roasted pork chop. The dark, sultry interior matches the rich seasonal offerings. Also check out their outdoor space Perch, a Savannah rooftop oasis featuring live music, appetizers and cocktails.
- Have a pre-dinner drink at the adjoining Raw bar.
- Save room for creative desserts like the lard pie.
- Make reservations well ahead of time to sample this hotspot.
After dinner, head to the Fitzroy, a spirited gastropub with Australian-inspired fare in the heart of downtown Savannah. Sidle up to the striking black marble bar and sip creative cocktails like the Running Up That Hill made with Barr Hill Gin. Or opt for the Hemingway Daquiri, created with Plantation White Rum. As the evening progresses, the vintage-filled lounge becomes even livelier with live music from Savannah’s talented local musicians. Their sounds pair perfectly with the Fitzroy’s good-time vibe and inventive elixirs. Beyond cocktails, visitors can also enjoy elevated pub grub like grilled meat pies or avocado toast at dinner or weekend brunch. The moody interior provides a cozy retreat, but the real star is the sunshine-soaked rooftop, overlooking bustling Broughton Street. Whether you stop in for a drink or a full meal, the Fitzroy offers a taste of Australian-inspired revelry and hospitality in Savannah.
- Ask the bartenders for bespoke cocktail recommendations
- You must order the Sweet & Spicy Pork Skins at the Fitzroy
- Come on the earlier side before it gets crowded.
- Check out the curated vinyl collection between sets.
With celebrated Southern chefs putting a novel spin on regional cuisine, Savannah’s food and drink scene shines through with flair and flavor.
After fueling up, start your cultural explorations by wandering through the 22 verdant squares dotted throughout the Historic District. As Savannah was laid out in 1733, original city planners James Oglethorpe and William Bull integrated these small parks throughout the grid. Today, locals and visitors alike love relaxing amid the fountains and monuments.
- Pick up a picnic from savory deli Zunzi’s to dine al fresco.
- Time your visit for March when the squares burst into bloom for the annual Tour of Homes where historic houses are open to the public.
- Grab a bench in Chippewa Square where Forrest Gump sat for his famous bus stop scene.
Next dive into Savannah’s vibrant art scene with a visit to the Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD) Museum of Art. Housed in what was once the oldest railroad facility in the world, this contemporary museum showcases innovative exhibitions along with pieces from SCAD’s permanent collection. Be sure to check out the André Leon Talley Gallery, named for the Vogue editor and SCAD graduate. Admission is free.
- Ask the docents for background on the architecture along with the art.
- Sign up in advance online for one of the museum’s architecture or art history walking tours.
- Browse the Museum Shop for unique jewelry, prints and books.
Beyond its cuisine and culture, Savannah dazzles visitors with a fun, visitor-friendly perk – the open container policy. Unlike many cities, Savannah allows patrons to wander with alcoholic beverages in the historic public squares and streets of the downtown area. Visitors can sip an old fashioned or mint julep as they amble amid the live oaks and monuments of the 22 historic squares. Just be responsible and respectful, and the city is your picturesque playground. Stop for a spiked Arnold Palmer while admiring the Italianate architecture of the Mercer House. Or cheers with a blood orange paloma while passing the stately Andrew Low House, once home of Girl Scouts founder Juliette Gordon Low. With a to-go cup in hand, the squares, statues and storied streets of Savannah truly come alive.
With its verdant squares, cultural attractions, and hands-on opportunities, Savannah entices visitors to meander through its cobblestoned streets and get inspired.
Where to Shop
Between sightseeing, pop into Savannah’s quaint boutiques andmarkets for quality souvenirs and gifts. Start at Paris Market & Brocante, housed in a landmark iron building from 1873. This European-style emporium overflows with aromatherapy products, eclectic antiques, bath luxuries and more. Don’t miss their exclusive fragrance collections.
- Ask associates like Barry or Michael for the backstory on antiques that catch your eye.
- Schedule time to indulge in a custom perfume consultation.
- Sign up for a calligraphy class in the upstairs studio for a classic keepsake.
Around the corner lies Savannah Bee Company, the place for honey based indulgences. Sample different varietals like orange blossom or wildflower at the tasting bar. Peruse the signature body care products like honey hand creams or lemon lip balms. Take home gift boxes with signature flavors like Tupelo or Acacia raw honey.
- Ask about special small-batch honeys that sell out quickly.
- Taste the certified organic Tea Room honeys ideal for infusions.
- Don’t miss their Mead Lounge next door for honey wine tastings.
With eclectic shops and local finds, Savannah offers the perfect places to uncover artisan treasures as mementos of your getaway.

Savannah is also a great city to road trip to. Depending on where you are coming from, you’ll likely get to see some other great cities along the way. Savannah is near Atlanta, Georgia and Charleston, South Carolina, two of the most popular southern cities to travel to. So that is definitely something to keep in mind when you plan your trip.
Getting Around Savannah
Savannah is a very, very, walkable city. If you are interested in doing day trips around the Savannah area, you will probably need to rent a car. But you can also use rideshare programs like Uber of Lyft around the city if you don’t like to or can’t walk for long periods of time.
The city also has free DOT transportation that visitors can use. There are also hop-on-hop-off bus tours that you can pay for. You’ll get a bit of knowledge about the area in a convenient way. It’s something we highly recommend if that sounds like something you’ll enjoy.

Day 1: Intro To Savannah + Historic District
On your first day in Savannah you’ll be walking a lot, so make sure to wear a pair of comfortable shoes. Day one is all about seeing Savannah’s most iconic landmarks. From historic buildings, the amazing 22 squares, and more. After your first full day in Savannah, you’ll have seen some of the most admired destinations and learned a lot about the city itself.
Stop 1: Breakfast At Mirabelle Savannah
Start your 3 days in Savannah with breakfast at Mirabelle Savannah. Mirabelle Savannah is a delightful coffee shop known for its Liège Waffles, which are traditional Belgian-style waffles. You can add a variety of toppings to your waffles. Like, Fluffernutter, Peach Cobbler, and Lemon Zinger.

After you’ve had your fill of amazing waffles head to the Cathedral Basilica of Saint John the Baptist. It is the home of the first parish established by the French immigrants after the Haiti uprising at the end of the 18th Century. It continued to grow when French nobles started to flee the French Revolution. Due to this growth, the Basilica was built in 1835.
After a devastating fire in 1899, most of the Cathedral was rebuilt to look how it does now. The church is open Monday through Saturday at various times for self-guided tours. However, if you want a docent-led tour to dive fully into the Cathedral’s history, they have daily options as well. It is a stunning building full of beautiful architecture and art that has become an iconic building in Savannah.
Stop 3: Relax In Lafayette Square
The massive square outside of Cathedral Basilica of St. John the Baptist is known as Lafayette Square. After some time exploring the Basilica, it’s a great place to relax and rest your feet. The Square itself is historic and was laid in 1873 in honor of Marquis de Lafayette.
Lafayette was a French General under George Washington during the Revolutionary War. The beautiful centerpiece of this gorgeous Square is the Semiquincentenary Fountain that was presented by the Colonial Dames of America to mark the 250th anniversary of the founding of the city.
There is plenty of green space where you can stretch out and relax and benches where you can sit and people watch. If you walk around the Square, you’ll find tons of historic homes. Many of them are actually House Museums, so if you feel up to it, think about stopping in one for a tour.
Stop 4: Grab A Refreshment At Fox And Fig And Stroll Troupe Square
You’ve spent the morning exploring and you’re probably starting to get hungry. So we absolutely suggest a stop at Fox and Fig Café. We loved Fox and Fig so much we made a stop almost every day of our trip. Fox and Fig is a Vegan restaurant that is absolutely delicious.
We particularly enjoyed the Yerba Mate Limeade with a pump of Lavender. They also have unique Lavender Coffe beverages and their Cinnamon Rolls are massive and so so good.
While you’re sipping on your Limeade and munching on your Cinnamon Roll, stroll around Troupe Square. Laid out in 1837, it is a beautiful green space and park. While you walk around you’ll see historic markers, buildings, and even cemeteries.
Stop 5: Explore East Jones Street
If you are interested in seeing some beautiful historic homes, explore East Jones Street. There are tons and tons of beautiful houses for you to admire.

The street is also near some of the oldest squares and buildings in the Historic District of Savannah.
Most of the homes on East Jones Street are registered on the register for National Historic Homes. They are all beautiful, making this one of the best streets in Savannah for admiring historic homes. East Jones Street is also great for photo stops, but please keep in mind these are private homes. You should not walk up the steps of the private homes and just admire them and photograph them from the street!

Some of visitor’s favorites are The Book Lady, Folklorico, and Red Clover. The Book Lady has over 50,000 gently used books in over 40 genres. Even if you don’t need any new books, it’s a really cool store to peruse.

That meaning in life turned out to be the Girl Scouts of America. The Juliette Gordon Low Birthplace is now a museum that focuses on her early life in Savannah, her marriage, and her subsequent founding of the Girl Scouts of America. Her childhood in Savannah had a large impact on her, and in turn, had a large impact on creating the Girl Scouts of America.

The famous oak tree-lined road is 1 1/2 miles long and is an amazing tree tunnel. It’s a great spot for photography and is very pretty. Now, the road is a part of what was once the Wormsloe Plantation, which had enslaved peoples working on it.
It is the home of the oldest standing structure in Savannah and you can take tours of the nature trail that is set up to show Colonial life at the time. But be wary of its dark history, and keep that in mind if it’s something you don’t feel comfortable touring.

Unlike most of Savannah’s squares, Oglethorpe Square is very modest in design. You won’t find any monuments, fountains, or other structures within it.
Oglethorpe Square is a beautiful park full of green spaces, charming paved walking trails, and plenty of benches to sit out and relax while you enjoy the park. It was originally named the Upper New Square but was later renamed in honor of Savannah’s founder, and was kept simply designed and decorated.
On the sides of the square, you’ll find some of Savannah’s iconic historic buildings, such as the Owens-Thomas House. You can tour the Owens-Thomas House, or simply enjoy the simple beauty of one of Savannah’s oldest squares.

Stop 6: Reynolds Square And The Olde Pink House
Next, you’ll head to another one of Savannah’s 22 historic squares. Reynolds Square is another beautiful park lined with historic buildings.
The square was originally built in 1733 and was later renamed in honor of the first Royal Governor of Georgia. In the middle of the square is a monument of John Wesley, the founder of Methodism.
Along the sides of the square is one of the most iconic buildings in the square is The Olde Pink House one of the best Seafood Restaurants In Savannah!
The Old Pink House was built in 1771 and was originally white. But when the soft brick began to bleed through the plaster on the outside of the home, it turned pink. Since then, it has been an iconic home in Savannah’s Historic District.
The Olde Pink House is actually a restaurant, so you can go up the stairs and get some fun photos in front of it. It’s a great place to keep in mind for future meals, but for now, we’ll just admire it.
Stop 7: Walk Along River Street
One of Savannah’s best historic streets is River Street. River Street was once home to the area’s many cotton warehouses. The area has a unique history because cotton was one of the major exports for Savannah and Georgia as a whole. River Street is now one of the newest up-and-coming Districts in Savannah that aims to marry the old history of Savannah with new attractions.
While you walk along River Street you’ll see beautiful views of the Savannah River, as well as new and historic hotels along the street. The street is home to over 75 new galleries, boutiques, restaurants, eateries, and even artist’s studios. Because it is also part of Historic Savannah, you can find monuments along the street.
You can explore unique boutiques and then stop at the African American Monument or the World War II Monument. It’s the perfect place to see old Savannah and new Savannah creating a unique and diverse experience.
Stop 8: Explore The New Plant Riverside District
Near River street is the new Plant Riverside District. The area is considered Savannah’s “Entertainment District” and for a good reason. It is bursting with things to do. It is quickly becoming a popular destination for those visiting Savannah. Like River Street, it combines the architecture and buildings of Historic Savannah with new shops, restaurants, and hotels.
The new Plant Riverside District is becoming most known for being the home of some of the newer luxury hotels, high-end retail shops, brand-new restaurants, and so much more. There are luxury hotels, inns, and more all around the city of Savannah. But the Plant Riverside District is quickly becoming the hub for high-end luxury in the city. It’s a really cool place where new meets old in Savannah.
Stop 9: Dinner at Plant Riverside District

All of the restaurants in the district are very new and there is something for every palette.

We particularly enjoyed pizza at Graffito and tacos at Savannah Tequila Co. But you can also find steakhouses, seafood, a smokehouse, and more in the area. Along with amazing restaurants, it is also home to a unique German inspired Beer Garden and a shop full of different kinds of cookies.

The Best Times to Visit Savannah For Good Weather, Fewer Crowds, and Lower Prices
And when to spot the Southern city's blooming azaleas, too.
The historic architecture and palpable charm of Savannah, Georgia, make it one of the most beautiful cities in the South. Live oaks dripping in Spanish moss loom over stately town squares, and a thriving culinary scene draws foodies from around the country. Thanks to its coastal location, Savannah has a consistently mild (if humid) climate, but the weather fluctuations that do exist help dictate its tourist seasons, which are as follows.
- High Season: March to July
- Shoulder Season: August to December
- Low Season: January to February
joe daniel price/Getty Images
Spring brings azalea blooms and the lion's share of tourists, but don't overlook the shoulder season, says Amanda Marks, a Les Clefs d’Or concierge at Thompson Savannah . “I love our fall weather, and recommend coming to Savannah in November before Thanksgiving."
Keep reading for more details on the best times to visit Savannah for fantastic weather, smaller crowds, lower prices, and more.

Best Times to Visit Savannah for Smaller Crowds
“In my 20 years living here, I’ve found that Savannah is most crowded in spring (March, April, and May) and fall (September, October, and early November),” Marks says. So if you’re looking to admire Georgian homes or amble down River Street with fewer people around, consider booking your trip in January or February. Marks says that January is the quietest month in terms of travelers, but that some attractions may be closed this time of year, too.
Summer is another less-busy season, though it also brings challenging weather. Temperatures around 90 degrees Fahrenheit are common in July and August, and humidity is usually sky-high, too. If you can tolerate that — or if the main goal for your trip is simply to enjoy the city's delightful (and air-conditioned) restaurants and nearby beaches — a summer visit may be worth considering, since it'll likely reward you with smaller-than-average crowds.

Best Times to Visit Savannah for Good Weather
The best weather in Savannah comes in spring and fall. Temperatures range from the high 50s to the mid-80s from March to June, when trees and flowers — most notably, azaleas — come into bloom and adorn the city with lush hues of green and pink. Prepare for a spring visit by packing layers, including a rain jacket or umbrella. “Nearly every afternoon, at around 3 p.m., it will rain for 30 to 40 minutes,” Marks says. But don’t let a little rain deter you. “Savannah is beautiful during and right after the rain. When the Spanish moss is draped with raindrops, it sparkles in the sun,” she explains.
If you can’t swing an early spring trip, Perry Lane Hotel staffer and lifelong Savannah resident Mandy Heldreth says to aim for June. You might squeeze in a visit just before the higher temperatures and humidity arrive, which tends to be in July and August.
The autumn portion of Savannah’s shoulder season, from mid-September to mid-November, is another time to find travel-friendly weather. Heldreth says that this is when “the city begins to cool off” again, with daytime temps in the low 70s.
Best Times to Visit Savannah for Lower Prices
Unsurprisingly, the limited demand seen in Savannah’s off-season translates to lower prices on accommodations. “When visiting in the off-season — before President’s Day, during the summer, or from November through the end of the year — more savings can be had," says Marks, "and exploring the city may be more enjoyable and easier to navigate with less foot traffic around." Try visiting at these less-popular times for a deal on the great hotels that showcase Savannah's Southern hospitality.
Off-peak months like January and November can also bring discounted airfare — though there's a chance you can snag a deal on flights at any time of year. Savannah/Hilton Head International Airport is served by several budget carriers, including Allegiant , which connects the city to nearly a dozen major and not-so-major airports (Appleton, Wisconsin, anyone?) across the country. Though you'll have to pack light and watch out for hidden fees, these airlines can be a great way to get to Savannah for the lowest price possible.
Best Times to Visit Savannah for Events and Festivals
Like Charleston and other Southern cities, Savannah hosts many events and festivals in the spring and fall, when the weather is at its best. “St. Patrick’s Day is considered a holiday in Savannah,” Marks says, “and while many attractions and tours are closed, we do have a fantastic parade to watch and enjoy.” Music and art are also a large part of local culture — the city is home to Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD), after all — and spring celebrations include the Savannah Music Festival and the SCAD Sidewalk Arts Festival . “The art students gather in Forsyth Park and draw on the sidewalks, creating beautiful masterpieces for everyone to enjoy,” Marks says of the latter.
In September, Savannah Jazz Festival’s live performances are held at Lucas Theatre, the Ships of the Sea Maritime Museum, and Forsyth Park over the course of a week. October has its own set of events and festivals, too, including SCAD Savannah Film Festival , Savannah Pride , and the Savannah Greek Festival . Plus, it's a great time to enjoy the city's famous spooky side .

Worst Times to Visit Savannah
Though it's more affordable and less crowded, summer in Savannah isn't ideal for most travelers, given the sweltering temperatures and oppressive humidity found in July and August. Unless you love heat, it's best to avoid visiting during this stretch. Also on the subject of weather, it's smart to note that hurricane season runs from June to November. Though Savannah isn't as vulnerable to tropical storms as much of the southeast (thanks to the sharp inward curve the coastline takes just north of the city), a direct or indirect hit is always possible — and it may be a risk some travelers would prefer to avoid.
Spring is generally regarded as the best season to visit the city, but if you're more interested in affordability than perfect weather, you may want to bypass the pricey peak period. The off-season months of January and February are some of the most affordable of the year, and though they won't be warm and sunny, they won't be ice-cold either — winter temperatures rarely dip below 40 degrees.

Ryan Garcia has been living it up in Miami following his big win — and payout — over Devin Haney.
The controversial boxer was spotted out and about in Miami with several women this week — despite recently announcing his engagement to adult film star Savannah Bond.
The 25-year-old hit the boardwalk with influencer Grace Boor on Monday afternoon, as seen in photos obtained by Page Six.
The pair looked every bit the couple as they made their way to the beach hand-in-hand.
The heavily tattooed athlete wore only black shorts and socks for the outing.
Meanwhile, Boor left little to the imagination in a skimpy crocheted bikini. The 21-year-old covered her bottom half with a sheer sarong and donned a dark Yankees hat.
However, just one day prior, the boxer was seen getting cozy with another influencer, Alexa Dellanos.
The duo was photographed packing on the PDA outside The Setai Hotel, with Dellanos lovingly wrapping her arms around his neck at one point.
Video from the loved-up interaction showed Garcia seemingly leaning down to kiss the social media star’s neck before grazing her backside with his hand.
While Garcia kept casual in a white tank top and gray pants, Dellanos wore a tight pink dress atop a bikini and dark sunglasses.
After the photos of Garcia and Dellanos started circulating online, Boor took to social media to slam the WBC Light Welterweight champion.
“When he tells you that you’re the only one >,” she tweeted back to an article about Garcia’s apparent love circle.

She also shared a screenshot of Garcia saying, “I love you” — asking her followers if she should “believe” him.
“Name another man that’s married, has 3 kids, is newly engaged, dating around, boxing champion, love God and has good taste in music?” she sarcastically wrote atop a photo of herself. “I’ll wait 😂😂😂😂😂.”

Amid the social media chatter, a third woman claimed she was also involved with the athlete.
“Spotted with 3 women actually 🫠 third one being me …” Ara Bozorgian tweeted alongside photos of Garcia and a woman. It’s unclear when the pictures were taken and if Bozorgian is the woman in the photos.
Reps for Garcia, Bozorgian, Dellanos, Boor and Bond did not immediately respond to our request for comment.
Earlier this month, the boxing champ posted a video of himself popping the question to Bond while flying on a private jet.
“SHE SAID YESS!!!!!! 💍💍💍,” he wrote on X. “SHES MY WIFE OR FUTURE WIFEY BUT STILL VERY VERY HAPPY.”
That same day, Bond posted a video of the pair kissing and exchanging “I love yous.” However, the blond beauty has not posted with Garcia since.

It’s been hard to keep up with Garcia’s love life since the start of 2024.
Garcia filed for divorce from Andrea Celina at the beginning of January, citing “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for their split.
He infamously announced the news of their split the same day he and Celina shared the arrival of their son, Henry Leo Garcia.
Celina and Garcia, who started dating in 2019, also share daughter Bela, 3. The boxer became a dad in 2019 when he welcomed daughter Rylie with ex Catherine Gomez.

A straphanger who was fatally stabbed in the throat in a random subway attack at a California metro station early Monday — with her alleged attacker now in handcuffs.
Elliot Tramel Nowden, 45, was arrested and charged with murder just 30 minutes after the shocking unprovoked attack at 5 a.m. at the Universal City Station, the Los Angeles Police Department said .
Police said Nowden was on the B-Line train with the victim when he suddenly slashed her throat as the car pulled into the station — leaving the victim bleeding on the platform as horrified commuters looked on.
The accused killer then fled the station, while the victim was rushed to a local hospital where she was later pronounced dead, the department said.
At about 5:30 a.m., alert cops on patrol in North Hollywood spotted Nowden, who fit the description of the attacker and took him in for questioning.
He was charged based on eyewitness accounts and other evidence and ordered held on $2 million bail.
“Investigators believe there are additional, unreported victims of Nowden,” LAPD said in a statement.
The attack came on Earth Day, when metro trains and buses in the City of Angels are free of charge, according to a report by the Los Angeles Times .
The outlet said homicides on LA subway trains have inched upward in recent years, from none in 2019 to six last year, even as ridership is growing — 5.7 million riders in March up from 5.1 million in February.

The Kamala Harris Moment Has Arrived
By Charles M. Blow
Opinion Columnist
One of Kamala Harris’s most memorable moments during the 2020 presidential election cycle was when, during a Democratic primary debate, she sharply criticized Joe Biden for working with segregationists in the Senate in their shared opposition to busing.
She personalized her criticism, saying : “There was a little girl in California who was a part of the second class to integrate her public schools, and she was bused to school every day. And that little girl was me.”
The power in the attack was not only the point being made but that she — a person affected from a group affected — was making it. Although some of Biden’s defenders saw her remark as a gratuitous broadside, there was an authenticity to the way she confronted the issue.
The verbal jab also aligned with the national zeitgeist at a time when calls for racial justice and the Black Lives Matter movement were ascendant.
She ticked up in the polls, and donations poured in. Ultimately, her candidacy didn’t catch fire, but the following summer, Biden, the eventual nominee, made a historic offer to Harris to join his ticket, leading to her becoming the first woman, first Black person and first Asian American to be vice president.
Fast-forward to now, when Vice President Harris has served nearly a full term alongside President Biden, and she is moving into another moment when the political stars are aligned for her as the perfect messenger on a subject that has fixed Americans’ attention and is central in the 2024 presidential campaign: reproductive rights.
This time, her target is Donald Trump. And being in a position to go on the offensive is something of a reversal of fortune for a vice president who has endured withering — often unfair — attacks and who struggled to define herself in the role.
In October, The Atlantic’s Elaina Plott Calabro profiled Harris under the headline “The Kamala Harris Problem,” writing that “Harris’s reputation has never quite recovered” from some early blunders during her term. The article includes a particularly blunt quote from the former Obama administration adviser David Axelrod about a perceived risk aversion born of insecurity: “It looked as if she didn’t know where to plant her feet. That she wasn’t sort of grounded, that she didn’t know exactly who she was.”
Criticisms of Harris have been relentless, ranging from legitimate challenges to her policy statements to ridiculous commentary about her laugh . Much of it has seemed tinged with gender bias.
This has all led Harris to struggle in the polls. Her approval rating, like Biden’s, has languished below 50 percent for most of her term.
And she remains a source of concern, a perceived vulnerability to Biden’s re-election. In March, the Washington Post columnist Kathleen Parker wrote that Harris should bow out for the sake of the country, absurdly comparing her to Sarah Palin in 2008.
Over and over in her failed run for this year’s Republican nomination, Nikki Haley pointed to the possibility of a future Harris presidency as a scare tactic, saying in an August interview on “Good Morning America”: “There is no way Joe Biden is going to finish his term. I think Kamala Harris is going to be the next president, and that should send a chill up every American’s spine.”
But the Supreme Court’s overturning of Roe v. Wade and Republicans’ lust to enact increasingly regressive policies to restrict reproductive rights in states across the country have made Harris’s voice an essential one in the campaign.
In December, Harris announced her nationwide Fight for Reproductive Freedoms tour.
In March, she became what is believed to be the first vice president to pay an official visit to an abortion clinic (no president has done so), when she visited a Planned Parenthood clinic in St. Paul, Minn.
No matter how sensitive and knowledgeable men try to be on the issue of reproductive rights, there are still things that we cannot fully connect to. Harris transcends that barrier not only because she’s a woman but also because of her background as a prosecutor.
In a February speech in Savannah, Ga., she said that she decided to specialize in prosecuting crimes of violence against women and children because in high school she learned that one of her best friends was being molested by her stepfather. Harris told that story as a way to underscore the repressive nature of abortion laws that don’t have exceptions for rape or incest.
She told the crowd, “The idea that someone who survives a crime of violence, a violation to their body, would then be told they don’t have the authority to decide what happens to their body next, that’s immoral.”
Harris may never be duly recognized for her contributions to the administration on a broad range of issues, but in the end that may not be her calling.
According to her office, since Roe was overturned, the vice president has held “more than 80 convenings in 20 states.” Being a trusted voice in favor of reproductive rights and against Republicans determined to restrict or eliminate them may be the greater contribution she can make to Biden’s re-election bid and to maintaining national stability.
With this issue, she has hit her stride. With it, the talk of her as a liability has been hushed, for some, by the clear realization of what she brings to the campaign. With it, Harris has a mission, and she’s on it.
