Weekend in Savannah, Georgia

On a weekend trip to Savannah, GA, visitors can savor the absolute best of the city – from seeing the sights, to learning about the history to eating the food. During my girls weekend in Savannah with my mom and sister, we did all that…and a little bit more.

As detailed trip planners, we packed our weekend in Savannah, Georgia with sightseeing, shopping, strolling and stuffing ourselves with some of the best food (and craft beer) the city has to offer.

Rather than limiting our trip to just 2 days in Savannah, we planned our trip as a long weekend in Savannah with three days to see the city.

Kick off your weekend in Savannah, GA getaway by the Savannah River, which has played a vital role in the city’s history.

End the first night of your itinerary for Savannah, GA with stories of frightening ghouls on a Ghost Tour.

Things to do in Savannah, Georgia by JetSettingFools.com

 

Savannah River Street

River Street in Savannah is the perfect place to start your exploration and your weekend trip to Savannah, Georgia. The historic cobblestone street extends two miles along the banks of the Savannah River – and a half mile of the stretch is a pedestrian-only promenade.

A must-see in any Savannah, Georgia itinerary, the street is lined with brick buildings that were once used as cotton warehouses, but have been repurposed into restaurants, bars and boutique shops selling antiques, souvenirs, and local artwork. Several monuments stand on River Street – like the African American Monument, WWII Memorial, the Waving Girl Statue, and the Olympic Cauldron.

Pro Tip: Taking a Savannah Riverboat Cruise is a great way to get acquainted with the city on your weekend trip to Savannah, GA! In addition to the popular sightseeing cruises, visitors can enjoy a brunch, lunch or dinner cruise. Get the details!

 

Savannah Craft Beer

By now, you have probably worked up a thirst – and there is no better way to quench it than with a cold beer from a Savannah craft brewery.

Moon River Brewing Company is located in the heart of the city – just steps from River Street – and is a fun place to kick off your fun Savannah, GA weekend getaway. With a full line up of tried-and-true along side their own unique beers on tap, we opted for a tasting board so we could try them all. They also offer a daily happy hour and a full menu of pub grub, but go easy because we have another suggestion for dinner!

The nearby Service Brewing Company is a veteran owned brewery and has a good range of craft brews on tap and a cool space to drink them in.  Visitors who prefer to wet their whistle with spirits should check out Ghost Coast Distillery, where they offer distillery tours and cocktail flights.

 

Dinner at Treylor Park 

Chic-yet-unpretentious, Treylor Park is a hip and fun spot for dinner on your trip to Savannah. The eclectic ‘Trailer Park’ menu features items like PB&J Chicken Wings, their signature loaded Waffle Fry Nachos and Chicken and Pancake Tacos that are served with chili aioli and strawberry salsa. For drinks, they feature an inventive cocktail list, classic bottled beer and local craft beer in cans and on draft.

 

Savannah Haunted Ghost Tour

One of the absolute best things to do in Savannah, GA at night is to go on a ghost tour. The convertible hearse ghost tour is a top pick among travelers who want an entertaining introduction to the haunted city.

However, the Haunted Pub Crawl was more our style for our Savannah, GA weekend trip. The two-hour tour visits three creepy and haunted bars, where you can sip your drink while hearing the spooky stories. Reserve your spot!


 

DAY 2 of Your Savannah Weekend Itinerary

On the second day of your three days in Savannah, start your morning in the expansive Forsyth Park, then indulge in sumptuous fare in a posh setting. Embark on a Savannah sightseeing adventure in the afternoon and end the day with yet another delectable meal.

How To Spend a Weekend in Savannah Georgia by JetSettingFools.com

 

Forsyth Park

Of all the Savannah sights to see, Forsyth Park is an absolute must!

The expansive 30-acre Forsyth Park is a beautiful green space in the city center. Lined with walking paths and dotted with memorials (some of which, like the Confederate Civil War Memorial, are controversial), the opulent fountain at the north end is the park’s most recognizable feature and an icon of the city.

If you are looking for things to do in Savannah, GA this weekend, there is likely something happening at the park. Forsyth park plays host to top events – such as the Savannah Jazz Festival, Free Movie Night and the Saturday Farmer’s Market. The Saturday morning market is a producer-only market – meaning the vendors personally produce the majority of items they sell. In addition to in-season fruits and vegetables, there are vendors that sell prepared foods, such as bakery items and coffee.

Pro Tip: If you get an early start to your Savannah, GA sightseeing, spend some time wandering through the Victorian District to the south of the park. The neighborhood dates to the 1800s and features fine examples of the ornate houses of that time. The Gingerbread House (now a wedding venue) is truly picture-perfect!

 

Lunch at The Olde Pink House

Make an early reservation for lunch at the Olde Pink House, one of the top-rated restaurants in Savannah. Housed in a Colonial mansion, the posh restaurant serves Southern classics with an elegant touch. Fried Chicken, Shrimp and Grits and Fried Green Tomatoes are featured on the menu – but the She Crab Soup is a specialty. Patrons can either be seated in the original opulent ballroom or cozy wine cellar.

 

Savannah Food Tour

One of the best things about a long weekend in Savannah, Georgia is the southern food! If you would rather forego the fancy meal in a Southern mansion, instead consider indulging in a variety of Savannah cuisine on a Culinary Food Tour for an extended three-hour lunch. Participants eat samples from six eateries – including fare such as Shrimp and Grits and Pork Belly Donut Sliders. Find out more!

Pro Tip: As it is for many people, eating lunch at Mrs. Wilkes Dining Room was a must on our Savannah itinerary. A Savannah institution, the Southern home-cooked meal is served family-style and the food does not disappoint. However, the restaurant is only open on weekdays from 11am until 2pm. Therefore, visitors planning a long weekend in Savannah will need to plan accordingly. Aim for a Friday or Monday visit – and be prepared to spend some time in waiting in line.

 

Savannah Walking Tour

Savannah is a breathtakingly beautiful city! Historic mansions line the streets, thick moss hangs from the ancient trees and fascinating history lurks in every corner. Strolling the streets (like picturesque Jones Street) is a must do in Savannah, GA. 

For your Savannah 3 Day Itinerary, we recommend that you walk through the Savannah Historic District. You can wander aimlessly or seek out the quaint squares, national landmarks and gorgeous parks.

Some of the top places to see in Savannah are Colonial Park Cemetery (featuring historic grave markers and some say ghosts), the Cathedral Basilica of St. John the Baptist (a stunning neo-gothic church), Chippewa Square (where the Forrest Gump bench was) and famous residences and mansions. Visitors can wander through the picturesque historic district or create a self guided walking tour. 

On the other hand, you can let a local tour guide show you where to go on a guided Savannah sightseeing tour. Your guide will share more historic information and local tips. Book a tour now!

Pro Tip: If you decide to plan your own Savannah sightseeing walk, consider using the Hop On Hop Off Trolley as an easy and efficient way to get around the city. Get the details here!

 

Savannah Museums and Historic Home Tours

Savannah is peppered with a profusion of well-preserved historic homes – many of which have been converted into museums. Seeing these historic Savannah homes – either from the outside on a self-guided walk or actually going inside – is a must on your itinerary for Savannah, Ga. Two of the most popular houses to tour are the Owens Thomas House and the Mercer Williams House. 

The Owens-Thomas House, built in 1819, features the extravagant main house, as well as the slave quarters, detailing the tragic history the city has with enslavement.

The Mercer-Williams House is a well-preserved mansion that was built in 1860 and features antique furnishings. It also happens to be the setting of the book Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil, which is based on a true story of the previous home owner.

Girl Scout founder, Juliette Gordon Low, was a Savannah resident – and both her childhood home (Birthplace of Juliette Gordon Low) as well as the home she spent her final days in (Andrew Low House) are now museums that are open for visitors to Savannah.

 

More Museums in Savannah

We have a few tips on other museums in Savannah, GA that visitors might want to include on their 3 Day Savannah Itinerary.

 

Telfair Museum: American and European artwork housed in stately mansion

 

Savannah History Museum: The history of Savannah from the American Revolution to current times.

 

American Prohibition Museum: Detailing the prohibition era in the USA, plus a cool speakeasy serving cocktails.

 

Battlefield Memorial Park: A memorial dedicated to Revolutionary War troops and the Battle of Savannah.

 

Georgia State Railroad Museum: A National Historic Landmark featuring historic railcars.

 

Savannah Children’s Museum: A play-and-learn place for kids to expand their imaginations.

 

Ships of the Sea Maritime Museum: A museum detailing the maritime history in Savannah – complete with ship models and antiques.

 

Davenport House Museum: Preserved 19th century brick house with period furnishings that offers tours.

 

First African Baptist Church: A National Historic Landmark 18th century church that played a vital role in history and was a stop on the Underground Railroad.

 

Alex Raskin Antiques: Not a museum per se, but definitely worth a visit, Alex Raskin Antiques is housed in an old mansion and filled with interesting antiques for sale. 

 

Dinner at The Grey

Eating dinner at The Grey is a fabulous idea for your Savannah, Georgia weekend trip. 

Housed in a converted 1934 Greyhound Bus Station, The Grey offers an exquisite dining experience. Patrons can sit in the main restaurant or the Diner Bar (which has a different menu). The food is sophisticated Southern, the service is impeccable and the atmosphere is sensational. Reservations are recommended far in advance!

If you cannot get a seat at The Grey, the Savannah Seafood Shack is another popular option for Southern-style seafood that you can include in your Savannah trip planner…but expect a long wait! 

For something a little more low-key but steeped in history – go to Crystal Beer Parlor. Established in 1933, it is the oldest restaurant in Savannah and a classic place to visit on your Savannah, GA trip. The Crab Soup and Shrimp and Grits stand out as Southern favorites, but the burgers are tasty as well. Whatever you choose to eat, wash it down with one of the more than 20 local beers on tap!

 

Savannah Nightlife

The nightlife in Savannah is superb; seriously, you won’t have any problem finding fun things to do in Savannah at night. 

For an entertaining evening full of fun, head to City Market where there is a cluster of bars, live music and flowing libations. Wet Willie’s (known for alcoholic slushies) and Tree House (popular for their creative concoctions) are two fantastic spots.

If rowdy imbibing isn’t your scene, try Alley Cat Lounge instead. The hip bar features an extensive and innovative cocktail list, but has local craft beer as well.

For sophisticated and hip Savannah nightlife, head to the Plant Riverside District. Sip a cocktail on the rooftop garden or watch a live performance under the stars. 

One of the fun things about nightlife in Savannah is that they allow “drinks to-go” – meaning, you can take your drink with you! As many of the city squares feature live music at night, it is great to grab a to-go drink and find a spot to listen (and dance) to the melodies.

Pro Tip: Wondering what to do in Savannah at night that doesn’t include drinking? One of my top recommendations is to simply walk the historic streets after dark, when they feel simultaneously mysterious and romantic. 


 

DAY 3 of Your Weekend Trip to Savannah

On the last day of your Weekend in Savannah Itinerary, explore beyond the city limits. Venture out to Bonaventure Cemetery, eat seafood on Tybee Island and walk among moss covered trees at the Wormsloe Historic Site.

Note: If you plan a trip to Savannah, GA without a car, it will be nearly impossible to get to all of the sights recommended for Day 3. However, visitors flying to Savannah can book a 1-day car rental in downtown. Visitors who prefer not to drive should consider some of the day trips from Savannah – which you can check out here!

How To Spend 3 Days in Savannah Georgia by JetSettingFools.com

 

Bonaventure Cemetery

A Savannah must see, the 100-acre Bonaventure Cemetery dates to the mid-1800s. The cemetery ranks as one of the most beautiful cemeteries in the world (along with the Pere Lachaise in Paris and Recoleta in Buenos Aires). Located on a bluff of the Wilmington River, the historic cemetery features curving, tree-lined lanes and ornate (and sometimes eerie) sculptures.

Seeing the cemetery is a must for your Savannah, Georgia itinerary! The cemetery is free to visit, but for a more in-depth understanding of the cemetery, join a guided morning tour. Reserve your spot!

 

Tybee Island, Georgia

Located just 20 miles from Savannah, Tybee Island has long been a summer retreat and one of the best Savannah day trips. Some of the top Tybee Island attractions are the 1736 Tybee Island Lighthouse, Tybee Beach Pier and Fort Pulaski National Monument (a Civil War landmark).

Other top things to do in Tybee Island Savannah include hanging out on the beach, kayaking on the waterways, and eating amazing seafood. Bubba Gumbo’s, Coco’s Sunset Grille and The Crab Shack are all local favorites – and a good choice for lunch!

 

Wormsloe Historic Site and the Moon River District

A former Colonial estate and plantation, the grounds of the Wormsloe Historic Site are a popular Savannah day trip…mostly because it is utterly breathtaking. Giant oak trees draped in moss line the entrance, creating a arched canopy. Inside the estate, visitors can see the exhibits at the museum and explore the many trails that lead to stunning viewpoints of the Isle of Hope. Note that there is a fee to enter this site.

 

More Sights in Moon River District Savannah

It time allows, visitors can explore more of the Moon River District. In addition to Wormslow, visitors can learn about the heritage of the community at the Pin Point Heritage Museum, see sea creatures at the University of Georgia Aquarium, hike a trail at Skidaway Island State Park or discover the Isle of Hope district. 

 

Visiting Savannah without a car? Join this combination tour that visits both Wormsloe Historic Site and Bonaventure Cemetery.

 

Sweet Afternoon Treat

Back in the city by mid-afternoon, treat yourself to one of Savannah’s signature sweets: Leopold’s Ice Cream or Byrd’s Famous Cookies. Or, go crazy, and try them both over the course of your 3 days in Savannah!

Founded in 1919, Leopold’s is legendary…and there will likely be a line down the street to prove it. Their Tutti Frutti flavor is what inspired Savannah native Johnny Mercer to write the song of the same name.

The Byrd Cookie Company was established in 1924, when you could get two Scotch Oatmeal cookies for just a penny. Still family owned, the Key Lime Cooler Cookie is one of the top sellers today (but they cost a bit more than a penny now!).

 

Rocks on the Roof Savannah

End your 3 days in Savannah, GA at Rocks on the Roof – the open-air rooftop bar at the Bohemian Hotel. We spent our final moments of our Savannah, Georgia girls weekend enjoying the sunset view over the river and Talmadge Memorial Bridge while sipping specialty cocktails and sharing tapas!

How Many Days in Savannah?

We think spending 3 days in Savannah, GA is the perfect introduction. It is just enough time to get acquainted with the city, experience the charm and feast on classic southern fare. In fact, a 3-day weekend in Savannah, Ga is absolutely ideal for first-time visitors.

That said, there is so much to see and do that we could easily plan a 1-Week Savannah, GA Itinerary! Honestly, we could fill several days of our itinerary by just wandering the picture-perfect lanes in the historic districts.

Conversely, if we were limited to planning a trip to Savannah for just one day, we would do it! While a quick day trip to Savannah would be a hurried affair, it would still be worth it!

 

Alternate Savannah Itineraries

We have outlined the best way to spend three days in Savannah, however, we understand that not everyone is planning a long weekend in the gorgeous city. To help fellow travelers plan their best Savannah vacation itinerary, we are offering our top tips for how to create a shorter (or longer) trip plan.

 

Savannah Itinerary One Day

Visitors planning to spend just one day in Savannah will need a good trip plan in order to make the most of their time. In fact, with proper planning, one day in Savannah, GA won’t even feel rushed. 

 

1 Day in Savannah Sample Itinerary

For us, an ideal Savannah One-Day Itinerary would start in Forsyth Park. From the park, we would embark on a self-guided tour of the Savannah Historic District. For a late lunch, we would join a Food Tour (so that we could try as many southern flavors as possible!) then sample craft beer at Moon River. We would end our day trip to Savannah with dinner at one of the finer establishments (making reservations far in advance!).

 

Savannah Itinerary Two Days

With 2 days in Savannah, visitors will have time to see a lot more of the city. Actually, on a 2-Day Savannah, Georgia weekend getaway, you could almost fit all of the sightseeing our our Savannah Itinerary for 3 days into just 2 fun-filled days!

 

Savannah in 2 Days

In order to create a succinct Savannah 2-Day Itinerary, you will use our above outlined 3-Day Savannah Itinerary, but move the sightseeing around to better accommodate a shorter trip. 

On the first day of your two days in Savannah, start by seeing the sights we recommend for Day 2. Then, on your second day, spend the morning at Bonaventure Cemetery followed by more exploration as outlined on Day 1 of our 3 Day Itinerary Savannah, GA.

 

Savannah Itinerary Four Days

With 4 days in Savannah, there is ample time to see the sights and experience the best of the city. Again, you will use our 3-Day Savannah Weekend Itinerary as a base for creating your trip plan for 4 days.

 

4 Days in Savannah

To create a perfect Savannah, Georgia 4-Days Itinerary, we recommend following the first three days of our outline for 3 Days in Savannah. On the fourth day, explore neighborhoods (like Victoria and Starland) and visit museums that interest you (find our suggestions on Day 2).

 

Charleston and Savannah Itinerary

Because of the two cities close proximity, many travelers devise a Charleston-Savannah Itinerary. Both are fascinating places to visit (although, I am slightly partial to Savannah). In order to create the best Savannah-Charleston Itinerary, we recommend spending 3 days in each – and stopping to visit Hilton Head Island or Beaufort when traveling between the two.

 

Complete Georgia Itinerary

Our Savannah 3-Day Itinerary can easily fit into a longer Georgia trip. For example, you could plan a 5 Days in Georgia Itinerary that includes 3 days in Savannah and 2 days in Atlanta. Or, to create a 7 Days Itinerary in Georgia, visit Atlanta in 2 days, Macon in 2 days and then Savannah in 3 days.


 

More Travel Tips for your Weekend Trip to Savannah, GA

Now that you know what to do in Savannah, Georgia, we have a few more tips so that you can plan your perfect weekend trip to Savannah.

Planning a Trip to the City of Savannah, Georgia

We outlined the best way to spend 3 days in Savannah, GA – but there is so much more to planning a Savannah trip! Below, you will find tips for the best time to visit Savannah, how to get there and what to pack. 

As you make your plans and reservations to visit the Hostess City of the South, you will need to keep track of all the details. We recommend using a travel planner – like our Printable Travel Planner – to stay on top of your trip plans!

When is the Best Time to Visit Savannah?

To be honest, we think it is always a good time for a Savannah weekend trip! However, fellow travelers may want to consider weather and events when planning a weekend in Savannah. 

Summertime seems like an ideal time for a trip to Savannah – but be aware that festivals can crowd the city and drive up the cost of accommodations. Furthermore, the sweltering heat can make exploring Savannah sights on foot and other outdoor activities less appealing. 

Spending a weekend in Savannah in the autumn is ideal for people who like slightly cooler temps. Plus, October is the best time to go to Savannah for ghost stories and Halloween events. 

Planning a wintertime Savannah itinerary will work well for budget travelers – as hotel rates usually drop in January and February enabling budget travelers to plan a cheap trip to the city. Savannah is also one of the Best Places to Ring in the New Year!

The flowers blooming make a Savannah weekend in spring absolutely exceptional – but it is a popular time to visit, so expect some crowds and higher prices at accommodations. 

 

How To Get to Savannah

Savannah can be reached by plane, train or car. On my Savannah weekend trip, I arrived by plane at the Savannah Hilton Head International Airport (SAV). When we check for the best airfare prices, we always start our online research at SkyScanner.

 

Airport: Savannah, GA

The airport in Savannah, GA is located about 10 miles northwest of the city. To get from the Savannah Airport to Downtown Savannah, visitors can take a taxi, Uber, or a bus. Or, book a private transfer online

 

Amtrak: Savannah, GA

It is possible to travel by train on Amtrak to Savannah, GA from a limited number of cities – such as Charleston, Jacksonville, Raleigh, Philadelphia, Washington DC and New York. That said, the travel time between the cities can be painfully slow and likely not worth the hassle for just three days in Savannah.

 

Where To Stay in Savannah, GA

As a popular tourist destination, there are plenty of places to stay in Savannah. Accommodations include a choice of internationally recognized brand hotels, boutique B&Bs and Airbnb weekend rentals in Savannah, GA.

 

Vacation Rentals and Airbnb: Savannah, GA

On our girls trip to Savannah, we opted to stay in an Airbnb that was located outside the historic district. We had the entire house to ourselves for our weekend getaway in Savannah, Ga. The house had a lovely patio where we could enjoy our morning coffee before we started our daily sightseeing adventures.

Without a car, however, we would highly recommend getting an Airbnb in the Savannah historic district. There are many vacation rentals in Savannah city center (and you can find them on Booking.com, as well as Airbnb). 

 

B & B Savannah Historic District

Bed and Breakfasts are a Savannah specialty – and the perfect way to experience the city’s famous Southern charm. Ideal for a romantic Savannah getaway, The Foley House Inn (check availability here!) and Savannah Bed and Breakfast Inn (check availability here!) are two Savannah B&Bs that get rave reviews. Furthermore, they are both located close to the top sights in Savannah.

 

Savannah Hotels

Guests who are most comfortable in hotels will find there are ample choices right in the heart of the city that are perfect for a weekend in Savannah itinerary.

Perry Lane Hotel is a luxury hotel in Savannah offering elegant charm and modern amenities – and is simply perfect for a Savannah, Georgia weekend getaway. Check availability and prices for your stay!

The Homewood Suites on the Riverfront gets great reviews for its location and rooftop outdoor pool, while the classic 1964 Thunderbird Inn offers a cool atmosphere.

What To Pack for a Weekend in Savannah

We have just a few final travel tips and packing hacks for Savannah trips. Need a Packing Checklist? Get your FREE Packing Checklist here!

 

Travel Shoes for Your Trip to Savannah

In our Savannah Itinerary for 3 days, we explore a lot on foot! Between the long distances and cobblestone streets, you will want to pack a pair of comfortable walking shoes. I like to wear Columbia shoes for women while taking in city sights – and Kris generally likes to do his exploration in Merrell trail shoes.

 

Weather Appropriate Gear when Packing for Savannah

Savannah experiences a humid subtropical climate – meaning winters are mild and summers are hot and humid. July is the hottest month and, on average, high temperatures exceed 90 degrees Fahrenheit. The rainiest month is August, but there is rainfall in Spring, Summer and Autumn.

For your Savannah trip, we recommend bringing a packable raincoat and travel umbrella – as well as sunscreen, good sunglasses and a wide-brimmed travel hat for sunny days. Also, don’t forget the insect repellent to keep the mosquitoes away!

 

Travel Camera for Your Savannah Trip

Savannah is gorgeous! If you are anything like us, you will be snapping a ton of pictures of the most beautiful places to see in Savannah during your visit. Rather than relying on a camera phone to capture the sights, we recommend upgrading to an actual camera. We use a Canon Rebel with an everyday 18-135mm lens, which takes phenomenal pictures. Best of all, the camera comes bundled with all kinds of fun accessories, which makes it great budget camera for beginner photographers!

 

Savannah Travel Guide Book 

If you are taking a longer trip to Savannah or plan on exploring more of the surrounding region, you may want to invest in a Georgia Guidebook

 

Day Pack for Savannah Sightseeing

A good day pack is one of the essential Savannah travel accessories! With long days of sightseeing on your Savannah weekend getaway, you will want to ensure you have everything you need (including your everyday travel items) neatly tucked into your day bag. 

Before you start packing for Savannah, you will want to decide what you are packing in! We break down the pros and cons of a backpack or a suitcase.
