Discover Savannah

Savannah is a city that feels like stepping into a living novel, where Spanish moss drapes from ancient live oaks in 22 historic squares, each with its own story. This isn't just a museum piece; it's a vibrant, walkable city where you can sip a to-go cocktail from a historic pub while admiring Gothic Revival architecture, then stumble upon a cutting-edge student art installation from the renowned SCAD around the next corner. The atmosphere is a unique blend of Southern Gothic mystery, artistic energy, and genuine hospitality that's more relaxed than its polished cousin, Charleston.

From the haunting beauty of Bonaventure Cemetery to the bustling, cobblestoned energy of River Street, Savannah engages all the senses. You'll hear tales of pirates and ghosts on nightly tours, taste rich, slow-cooked Southern cuisine, and feel the palpable history in the meticulously preserved mansions. It's a city designed for strolling, discovery, and savoring the moment, whether you're people-watching in Forsyth Park or finding a quiet bench in Chippewa Square where Forrest Gump once waited for a bus.

Why Visit Savannah?

The Historic Squares & Parks: Savannah's 22 squares are the city's lush, green living rooms, each with unique monuments, fountains, and stories. From the iconic Forsyth Park fountain to the serene Chippewa Square, they create a pedestrian-friendly urban plan unlike any other in America.

The Famous 'To-Go Cup' Culture: Savannah's unique open container laws allow you to enjoy an adult beverage in a plastic cup as you stroll through the historic district. It epitomizes the city's laid-back, social, and leisurely pace of life.

5

Unparalleled Southern Food & Hospitality: Indulge in classic Lowcountry cuisine like shrimp and grits, she-crab soup, and fried green tomatoes at historic spots like The Olde Pink House or Mrs. Wilkes' Dining Room, served with genuine warmth.

6

Stunning Architecture & Gardens: From the Regency-style Owens-Thomas House to the Italianate Mercer-Williams House, the city is an open-air museum of architectural styles, often surrounded by fragrant, blooming gardens like those at the Cathedral of St. John the Baptist.

Local Tips & Insider Knowledge

  • •Wear comfortable walking shoes. Savannah's historic district is best explored on foot, and the cobblestones on River Street are notoriously uneven.
  • •Book popular restaurant dinners (like The Olde Pink House) weeks, not days, in advance, especially during peak seasons and weekends.
  • •Take a free ferry ride across the river to Hutchinson Island for a great photo op of the Savannah skyline. The ferry departs from River Street.
  • •Don't just stick to the squares—explore the beautiful trust lots and side streets like Jones Street, often called the most beautiful street in Savannah.
  • •For a less crowded cemetery experience than Bonaventure, visit the hauntingly beautiful Colonial Park Cemetery right in the historic district.
  • •Parking can be tricky. Use the city's parking garages (like the one on Bryan Street) for affordable all-day parking and walk from there.
  • •Visit the SCAD Shop (at 340 Bull St) for unique, high-quality souvenirs and art created by students and alumni, far better than generic trinkets.
  • •If you're on a budget, many museums (like the Telfair's Jepson Center) have free admission on specific days or times—check their websites.
  • •The best ghost tours are the smaller, guided walking tours, not the large trolley tours, for more intimate and detailed stories.
  • •Respect the privacy of residents. Many beautiful homes in the historic district are private residences, not museums.

Savannah Food Scene

Savannah's food is a delicious testament to its Southern and coastal location. Expect hearty, comforting dishes where seafood meets soul food, from crispy fried chicken to fresh Georgia shrimp, all often served family-style in historic settings.

Must-Try Dishes

Shrimp and Grits
She-Crab Soup
Fried Green Tomatoes
Lowcountry Boil
Pralines
Chatham Artillery Punch

Classic Southern Fine Dining

  • • The Olde Pink House (reservations essential)
  • • Elizabeth on 37th
  • • The Grey (in a restored Greyhound bus station)

Dress is typically 'smart casual.' Men often wear collared shirts, and reservations are non-negotiable.

Family-Style & Historic Eateries

  • • Mrs. Wilkes' Dining Room (lunch only, cash only)
  • • The Pirates' House
  • • The Collins Quarter at Forsyth

Arrive early for Mrs. Wilkes'—the line forms well before the 11am opening. Be prepared to share a table with strangers.

Casual & Modern Southern

  • • Treylor Park (creative sandwiches)
  • • The Vault Kitchen & Market
  • • Starland Yard (rotating food trucks)

These spots are great for a more relaxed, innovative take on Southern staples and often have shorter wait times.

Sweets & Bakeries

  • • Leopold's Ice Cream (historic parlor)
  • • River Street Sweets (pralines)
  • • Back in the Day Bakery (cupcakes)

Be prepared to wait in line at Leopold's, especially on weekends. It's a Savannah institution worth the patience.

Savannah Hidden Gems

Wormsloe Historic Site

The breathtaking, mile-long avenue lined with live oaks draped in Spanish moss leading to the ruins of an 18th-century colonial estate.

It's one of the most photographed spots in Georgia but feels worlds away from the city bustle, offering beautiful trails and a glimpse into the area's earliest history.

The Book Lady Bookstore

A charming, packed-to-the-rafters used and rare bookstore on Liberty Street in the historic district.

It's a bibliophile's dream and a quiet, atmospheric refuge from the tourist crowds, with a fantastic selection of Southern literature and history.

Harper Fowlkes House

A stunning 1842 Greek Revival mansion on Orleans Square, operated by the Society of the Cincinnati.

It's far less crowded than the Mercer-Williams or Owens-Thomas houses, offers intimate guided tours, and has one of the most beautiful interior collections in the city.

Moon River Brewing Company

A brewery and restaurant located in one of Savannah's most famously haunted buildings, the old City Hotel.

Even if you're not a beer fan, the building's history is fascinating, and it's a great spot to feel the city's ghostly lore in a lively, social setting.

The Cathedral of St. John the Baptist Gardens

The serene, fragrant gardens on the side and rear of the magnificent cathedral.

While everyone visits the cathedral's stunning interior, the gardens offer a peaceful, shaded spot to sit and reflect, often with beautiful floral displays.

Savannah Culture & Customs

Savannah's culture is a unique tapestry of deep Southern tradition, artistic innovation from SCAD, and a palpable sense of history—both glorious and ghostly. Manners and hospitality are paramount, but there's also a quirky, laid-back acceptance embodied by the famous 'to-go cup' law.

Cultural Etiquette

  • •Always say 'please,' 'thank you,' 'sir,' and 'ma'am.' Southern manners are appreciated.
  • •Dress respectfully when visiting houses of worship like the Cathedral.
  • •Be patient and polite; the pace of life is slower here.
  • •Ask before taking photos of people, especially on tours or in residential areas.
  • •Tip your tour guides, servers, and bartenders generously (18-20% is standard).

Useful Phrases

Hey y'all - A friendly, inclusive greeting for a group.(hay yawl)
Fixin' to - Getting ready or planning to do something.(fix-in too)
Bless your heart - Can be genuine sympathy or a polite insult, depending on context and tone.(bles yor hart)
Lowcountry - Refers to the coastal region of South Carolina and Georgia, including Savannah, and its distinct culture and cuisine.(low-cun-tree)
Savannah smile - The polite, slightly reserved smile locals might give strangers.(suh-va-nuh smyle)
To-go cup - Not just any disposable cup, but specifically the plastic cup you can take your alcoholic drink in while walking in the historic district.(too-go kuhp)

Frequently Asked Questions about Savannah

Is Savannah really haunted?

Savannah is considered one of America's most haunted cities due to its age, turbulent history (wars, fires, yellow fever epidemics), and preservation of old buildings. Whether you believe in ghosts or not, the ghost tours offer fascinating historical storytelling you won't find in guidebooks.

Can I really walk around with an alcoholic drink?

Yes, within the historic district. Savannah's open container law allows you to take your drink in a plastic 'to-go cup' (under 16 oz) from most bars and restaurants. You cannot take glass or cans onto the street. This does not apply on Tybee Island or in moving vehicles.

Do I need to rent a car in Savannah?

Not if you're staying in and primarily exploring the Historic and Victorian Districts, which are very walkable. For day trips to Tybee Island, Jekyll Island, or the plantations, a car is necessary. Rideshares are readily available for shorter trips within the city.

What's the difference between Savannah and Charleston?

Both are beautiful historic Southern cities, but Savannah feels more relaxed, open, and quirky with its grid of public squares and famous to-go cup law. Charleston is more formal, polished, and focused on its waterfront battery and peninsula. Savannah is generally considered slightly more affordable.

Is it safe to walk around Savannah at night?

The main tourist areas like the Historic District squares and River Street are generally safe and well-patrolled at night, especially where people are congregating. As in any city, stay aware of your surroundings, stick to well-lit, populated areas, and avoid isolated streets.

What should I wear in Savannah?

Dress is generally casual but neat. Comfortable walking shoes are essential. For spring/summer, light, breathable clothing is key due to heat and humidity. Evenings can be cooler. For nicer restaurants, 'smart casual' (collared shirts, dresses, nice jeans) is appropriate.

Are the trolley tours worth it?

They are an excellent way to get an overview of the city's history and layout, especially on a first visit or if you have mobility issues. For a more in-depth and atmospheric experience, however, a guided walking tour (history, architecture, or ghost) is often more rewarding.

Where is the Forrest Gump bench?

The famous bench from the movie was a prop and is now in the Savannah History Museum. The scenes were filmed in Chippewa Square, and you can visit the square to see the location where Tom Hanks sat, though there is no bench there today.
