Savannah, Georgia: The Must-Sees and Do's in This Southern American Gem!

Published: Sept. 12, 2023, 9 a.m.

In this weeks Travel Flashback Episode, if you’ve been curious about one of the spookiest cities in America, let this episode be your sign to take a trip to Savannah, GA. 

We absolutely loved this city and were blown away by how fun it is! You don’t need a lot of time in this town to really see it all. It’s rather small and very walkable, so if you’re staying in Savannah proper, you don’t even need a car. What you do need is your party hat, because open containers are not only allowed, but they are encouraged around Savannah! We went into several places where they asked if we needed drinks to go, or encouraged us to bring our open drinks in. It was amazing!

We got into town midday on a Saturday and left on a Monday morning to head up to Charleston and we did a lot! We could have used another day to do more ghost tours and eat more delicious food, but two days was quite enough too if that’s all you have.

We did a night walking ghost tour around town the first night and loved it! It wasn’t so spooky, and actually gave a lot more Savannah history than we were expecting. There is a ton in this city! As one of the only southern cities not to be burned in the civil war, there’s a lot of beautiful architecture, war history, and American history in this town from the colonial and civil war eras.

It’s a very walkable city, and in fact, you WANT to walk it! There’s so much to see! Walking around town is one of the best things to do in Savannah. There are many public squares, places to sit and relax, there’s even the iconic park where Forrest Gump was filmed!

Arguably one of the most iconic things to do in Savannah is the Wormsloe Historic Site and it did not disappoint! Pay the $10 fee to drive in and take all the pictures you can handle because these towering moss covered trees are as beautiful in person as they are in the pictures.

We also ate a ton of great food in Savannah, can you say fried green tomatoes?! In this episode we cover where to eat in Savannah GA including a few places we didn’t have the stomach space or time for, but would definitely do when we go again.
