| What To In Savannah Georgia |
Struttin' Through Time: Must-See Historic Sites
- Forsyth Park Fountain: You've seen it on a hundred postcards, now go see it in person! This iconic fountain is the perfect spot for a picnic lunch, people-watching, or pretending you're in a slow-motion shampoo commercial (lather not included).
- Bonaventure Cemetery: Now, this ain't your grandpappy's cemetery. Bonaventure is a sprawling, atmospheric place that looks like it was ripped straight out of an Edgar Allan Poe poem. Spanish moss hangs from the live oaks like an old man's beard, and the tombstones tell stories of pirates, planters, and maybe even a few restless spirits (tours available,???? d?n xi?o w� r�, enter at your own risk!).
Food Glorious Food: Chow Down in Savannah
- Lowcountry Cuisine: Get ready to lick your plate clean. Savannah's food scene is a beautiful marriage of fresh seafood, soul food staples, and down-home Southern cooking. Think shrimp and grits, fried green tomatoes, and pecan pie so good it'll make your grandma jealous.
- Rooftop Revelry: Savannah has some of the most stunning rooftops in the South. Sip on a sweet tea mint julep while taking in the view of the city at sunset. Just be careful not to get too tipsy and reenact that scene from Titanic (been there, done that).
Bump in the Night: Spooky Side of Savannah
- Ghost Tours Galore: You can't escape the ghosts in Savannah. They're practically part of the furniture. Take a haunted pub crawl, a nighttime trolley tour, or even a ghost hunt (if you're feeling extra brave). Just remember, the only spirits you should be chasing are the ones in your glass.
- Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil: Read the book, see the movie, then explore the city through a spooky lens. You might just recognize some of the locations from the story (fun fact: the author claims his house is haunted...believe it or not!).
Important Tip: Savannah gets hot and humid, especially in the summer. Pack light, breathable clothes, and don't forget your sunscreen (unless you're aiming for that authentically haunted look, then by all means, embrace the paleness).
How to Savannah Like a Savannahian (or at least try to):
- How to speak Southern? Bless your heart, that's a tall order. But here are the basics: "y'all" is plural you, "fixin' to" means you're about to do something, and "sweet tea" is not just a suggestion, it's a way of life.
- How to navigate the Historic District? Savannah is a walkable city, but if your feet get tired, hop on one of the cute, colorful carriages for a ride. Just don't be surprised if the horse tries to steal your snack (they have expensive tastes).
- How to avoid the crowds? Savannah gets popular, especially during peak season. To avoid the masses, explore during the shoulder seasons (spring and fall) or head off the beaten path. There are plenty of hidden squares and charming neighborhoods waiting to be discovered.
- How to dress for dinner? Savannah is a city of contrasts. You can go from casual during the day to dressed-up for a fancy dinner at night. Pack a versatile wardrobe so you can adapt to any situation.
- How to embrace the weird? Savannah is a quirky city with a unique sense of humor. Just roll with it, ask questions, and don't be afraid to strike up a conversation with the locals. They're some of the friendliest folks you'll ever meet (even the ghosts, probably).
