1) Trolley around town
Savannah is home to a lot of history and things to see and do. The city is very walkable, but with a lot of highlights, it can be nice to have a means of transportation to get around. Check out the old town trolley tours where the trolley will take you around savannah! You can hop on and off the trolley as much as you want and it’s a great way to make the most of your time while visiting. This will help make sure you see all of the highlights!
2) Bike around the city
If you have the opportunity, I highly recommend biking as a way to see the city. This was a fun and efficient way to get around Savannah!
3) Forsyth Farmers Market
If you are into farmers markets, on Saturday you can expect to find the Forsyth Farmers market located in Forsyth park! This is a great way to support local while also getting a taste of savannah. Take time to enjoy the park and see the vendors!
4) Paid attractions
As I mentioned, there are a lot of highlights and history when it comes to savannah. Before visiting, think about what it is you might want to see in detail. Purchase admission to a museum or pay for a guided walking tour. When purchasing admission, make sure it is or isn’t haunted!
5) Savannah squares
This next thing to know is also a little fact about Savannah. When Savannah was being built up, General Oglethorpe came up with the idea of laying the city of Savannah out in a grid pattern with Squares. These Squares are open areas made for public use, spaced out throughout this grid pattern. These Squares were originally used to practice and drill for the militia, but today are gathering places of beauty and history. With numerous Squares around the city, they are a great area to check out! They often are well landscaped and have statues that can be seen.
6) Pralines
When in savannah, you must try pralines! While exploring the city, find a candy shop that sells pralines. Some will offer a free sample or purchase some to take home with you!
7) Spuds at Spanky’s chicken
If you are looking for good food when in savannah, check out Spanky’s located on River Street. They have amazing chicken fingers there but do yourself a favor and order the Spanky’s spuds. I had never had these before and was blown away by them! They are sliced potatoes that are hand-battered and deep-fried with Spanky’s original batter.
8) Wet Willie’s for daiquiris
If you are visiting in the summer, Savannah can get hot! A great way to take a fun and refreshing break is by visiting Wet Willie’s for an assortment of frozen daiquiris! They do offer sugar-free and nonalcoholic options.
9) Savannah Belles ferry
Savannah Belles Ferry is a free ferry boat ride that you can take with a couple of pickup and drop-off points. The ferry stops are Savannah Riverwalk at City Hall, Savannah Riverwalk in Morrell Park near the Savannah Marriott Riverfront, and Savannah Convention Center on Hutchinson Island, next to the Westin. Take the ferry boat for a fun experience and to see a different side of Savannah!
10) River street
River Street is a unique area to visit when in Savannah. Here, you will find a mix of old and modern Savannah. With new buildings nestled next to former cotton warehouses, you’ll find numerous shops, galleries, restaurants, pubs, and hotels located on Savannah’s Waterfront. If you are looking for a place to get souvenirs of your time in Savannah, check out River Street!

What a beautiful place to visit with so many things to see or try. I love the grid layout idea with squares to sit or walk through and the ferry boat ride to take a rest from the cycling 👍🚲😀
Thanks K Lady! Savannah is a very unique place to visit and I agree, the Squares were very cool! I was happy to be able to see the city while biking, I thought that was a neat experience. Thanks for watching!
I enjoyed watching the video and agree with you that biking is a great way to see Savannah. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you very much for watching! We had a great time exploring Savannah and I am so glad we could see the town by biking!
Thank you heading to savannah next week and enjoyed your video
That's great I hope you have a great trip! Savannah is beautiful and there is so much to see and do. Thank you for watching! I'm glad you enjoyed the video and enjoy your trip! 😀
I've never been to Georgia. It's definitely got a lot to experience. The trolley would be awesome if it was just adults. If I was bringing the family, the trolley would become a costly option. I love so much of the architecture and of course tourist trap locations. I have a research page of Savannah from a couple years ago but we've not done the trip yet.looks beautiful. Great video.
Very good point Red, the trolley could definitely become costly with a family! Public transportation may be a better option at that point! Savannah is a very beautiful place and I hope you both are able to make a trip one day! Thank you for watching! 😀

Does Savannah have electric scooters?
Good question I am not positive actually! When I went 2 years ago I hardly saw any scooters unless they have started to introduce them! Thank you for watching!😀
They have a Segway tour
River Street is paved with ballast stone, not cobblestones.
Thank you for the clarification ☺️
lol...close enough
Megan, you’re a very personable and pleasant person to listen to..BUT are you perhaps promoting a “drinking game” to your presentation? If I downed a shot every time you said ‘definitely’ I’d be under the table within the first 5 minutes! 😅
Omg I’m DYING 😂😂😂 thank you so much for this comment my family and I laughed so hard! You can tell I had go to words in my old videos but am happy to say I’ve expanded my vocabulary when making videos. I try not to repeat myself as much 😂 thanks for watching and for the comment!
Now I’M the one that’s laughing hard! Thanks for being such a good sport and best wishes to you & yours😉
Live here and this is the most boring city nothing to do but go downtown and look at OLD HISTORIC buildings and Spanky’s food is not appeasing to taste
Sorry you feel that way Sharon but I appreciate you watching!
Go to the beach on Tybee Island
I lived in Savannah in past and it will always hold a special place in my heart it just has the amazing vibe and historic feeling it’s classic❤
It's not George Oglethorpe. It's James Edward Oglethorpe. At least get the facts right.
Thank you!
