Savannah is both a historic and charming city, filled to the brim with history, hearty food, and entertaining bars.
The overall vibe of Savannah is refreshingly lax; you can equally enjoy ambling around the city, or resting your legs in the many public squares, all with a cocktail in hand thanks to the open-container laws.
All of that and more makes Savannah a great spot for a weekend trip.
Read on for a detailed look at how to spend a weekend in Savannah, Georgia.
Day 1 in Savannah
For your first day in Savannah, wear some comfortable walking shoes! The sights of Savannah are best seen on foot so you can absorb all of the stunning details of the city.
Morning
A walk on the riverfront is a great start to your weekend in Savannah.
Some of the best breakfast spots by the river include Cafe M and the Two Cracked Eggs Cafe. Fill up in either one, then head down one of many colonial-era staircases to the cobblestone streets along the waterfront.
The hand-laid cobblestone streets and converted brick warehouses provide a glimpse of what the city looked like back in 1733 when Savannah was founded.
Nowadays, you’ll find craft shops for unique souvenirs, charming brick facades, and plenty of historical plaques to read up on in the area.
Make sure to stop into the Savannah Bee Company; a local favorite for craft honeys and mead. After that, relax in a shaded area of the riverwalk and practice your people-watching skills.
Afternoon
One of the joys of Savannah is simply walking through the city to enjoy the scenery.
A stroll down Bull Street, the divider between East and West Savannah, followed by a lap around Jones Street, (cited as the most beautiful street in the United States), is a perfect way to spend an afternoon.
Given it’s the city’s focal point, Bull Street is home to several iconic town squares. If you start at the intersection of Bull and Bay street, (closest to the river), you’ll pass through numerous manicured green areas that spot either side.
The first, Johnson Square, is a wide-open atrium with a central fountain that kids love to flock around. Later at night, Johnson Square is packed with bar hoppers, as people head to and from the main bar strip, Congress Street.
Passing further into the city on Bull Street will land you at Wright Square.Established in 1733 and named after Georgia’s last Royal Governor, James Wright, the square has an eerie past. Find out more about this popular stop on one of the various Haunted tours of Savannah, and learn…
