Visited Savannah in September
Photo Shoot Location: Forsyth Park
Restaurants: Pirate’s House, Vic’s On the River
The Olde Pink House is popular for a reason, the food was phenomenal and the biscuits were mouthwateringly good!
The city is so easily walkable, it’s the best being able to walk from square to square, stopping into coffee shops and little boutiques all around the city and really get a feel for the vibe. And in the spring, star jasmine are in full bloom so the city smells like a flower shop, it’s the best!
The Olde Pink House is a MUST. It is an awesome atmosphere in a historical house, and the food and service were top notch!
Take a food tour with Savannah Taste Experience early in your trip! You will love it, and you will get the lay of the land early on and be able to explore on your own later with more direction. Also, visit Bonaventure Cemetery! It is so peaceful and beautifu (and it's driveable)l! It is very large though, so stop and get a map first to help you navigate and see the most famous monuments.
Book a mini-session with Flytographer and choose Shannon!
Top Deck Bar. The view is amazing and can't go wrong with $3 roses!
Forsyth Park. Holds a special place in our hearts. It's where we got engaged and married. We like having picnics in the park when we are in town.
To us, Savannah as a whole is a romantic getaway.
Visited Savannah in April
Photo Shoot Location: River Street & Ellis Square
We enjoy The Cotton Exchange Tavern on River Street. It had a cozy atmosphere but was close enough that the kids could run outside to see the giant boats going by.
We really enjoyed letting the kids play on the playground at Forsythe Park and getting coffee and having a relaxed morning.
Be flexible!! We let the kids guide us to the shops and sights they wanted to see, instead of sticking to a strict schedule and it was very enjoyable!

Too many to just choose one!! Absolute beautiful place to visit. Definitely recommend leav9ng the car parked and walk everywhere.
The 22 historic squares are all withing walking distance and absolutely beautiful landmarks of Savanah, as well as full of history. River walk os a must for history, and great food and drinks!! My favorite is all the small bistros and pubs, great food!!
The Drayton Hotel was so Romantic and the staff were amazing. Plus it is centrally located in historic Savanah, making it easy to walk everywhere.
The Olde Pink House—lovely historic home and great food!
Savannah trolley tour!
Cha Bella- delicious food with some unique options and romantic ambience. They even have swings on their patio!
We absolutely loved Forsyth Park! All the the Squares were beautiful, but Forsyth really is above and beyond.
If possible, travel during the week. We didn’t run into many crowds, which made getting the stroller around easier, especially in smaller restaurants.
We really enjoyed Sweet Potato for lunch! All the kids found something they loved, and the service was so nice. Our waitress was very attentive and it felt real Southern to us.
Definitely the brunch River boat cruise! The food, sites, staff and narrator were wonderful!
Keep it light and don't over schedule. Explore and see all the parks. Bring sunblock, water and good walking shoes!
Savannah Coffee Roasters
The Grey and The Olde Pink House are a must. The Pink House is classic savannah and The Grey is art with food. Both restaurants are filled with history.
We did a hours and carriage tour which was a great way to learn the history of Savannah
Bring comfortable shoes it’s a great walking city
Collins Quarter - we got brunch after the engagement and loved their mimosas.
The Cathedral Basilica of St. John the Baptist and the Dead of Night Ghost Tour
The Pink House.
Very best activity was the tour with Sista Pat and Leopolds ice cream. It was worth the wait!
Make your reservations early for hotel and restaurants.
Perry Lane Hotel was over the top luxury. We have our own personal butler, Kennedi, who made everything perfect!
The Old Pink House is a must! The food, service and atmosphere were all spectacular. I would also highly recommend an architecture/history tour and a ghost tour to hear some of the history and stories of Savannah.

Kathleen in Savannah for Flytographer
My favorite restaurant was Mrs. Wilkes Diner! It was on the most picturesque street (Jones street). So while we waited we were able to enjoy lots of beautiful scenery. They gave us more than enough food. We ordered for two and they gave us enough food for 5 people. The food was delicious and true southern cooking. I definitely recommend them!
Leave the car behind and walk the beautiful streets otherwise you will miss the essence of Savannah. Definitely stay in a historic hotel if you can. It was a neat and different experience.
Pirate Haus was amazing. The food and drinks were both great.
Collins Quarter!
Segway Tour was so fun, horse drawn carriage is always fun!
The railroad museum is fun and Savannah Candy co is always good when you need to bribe good behavior.
Loved everyplace we ate- but my husband would say the best fried chicken he has ever had came from Sisters of the New South!
Such an easy town to walk and sightsee!
Don’t be discouraged if you didn’t make that Olde Pink House reservation two weeks in advance! We stood in a 30 minute line outside starting at 4:15pm and got the last two seats at the bar (same menu) - and the cocktails were the best we have ever had!!!!!
Treylor Park! Everything on the menu is delicious!
The Grey! Crab beignets 🤤 Delicious, creative food and great story of becoming!
Bike tour, farmers market, live music along the river, walks on historic Jones St and in the parks, walks and ice cream along the beaches of Tybee island, beautiful, lush gardens and architecture everywhere, picturesque Wormsloe entrance, taking in the new JW Marriott in a restored building on the riverfront, so much to love about this dreamy city!
Look into making dinner reservations before your trip if there are special places you would like to dine! We have had two very good experiences booking long weekend trips to Savannah with vrbo!
We loved Savannah Seafood Shack for a casual low country boil! The atmosphere was laid back, but then right after dinner we could easily go shopping or explore the night life scene.
We loved the River boat dinner cruise. Good food, good music, great views. Definitely pay the extra money for the window seats!
Stay near the River front/Broughton Street. That’s where most of the restaurants and shops are.
