Savannah’s southern charm

The Hostess City
Just on the other side of the South Carolina-Georgia border lies one of the most remarkable cities in the South, and possibly the world. From the cobblestone streets of the historic district to the lively arts, entertainment and culinary scenes, the Hostess City offers all the excitement of a big city with a small-town charm that’s undeniable.

Explore the Waterfront
Along the grand thoroughfare where the historic district meets the river, River Street is a multi-faceted destination for entertainment. Explore the back alleys and historic storefronts (with a drink in hand if you really want to do it right) or head up the river to the stunning Plant Riverside District, a world-class entertainment complex right on the water.

Take a Riverboat Cruise
The sight of a luxurious paddle steamer has been a hallmark of Southern sophistication for centuries, and Savannah still boasts a fleet that ply the Savannah River for regular tours. Enjoy a dinner cruise, sunset tour or a casino night as you glide past river street, soaking in pure Southern elegance.

Explore Your Artistic Side
The Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD) has emerged as one of the leading art schools in the country, and a thriving arts community has spawned around it. Explore student works at some of the school-run galleries or take in the inspiration that abounds in the historic district’s Telfair Museums. Then, enjoy some Broadway-caliber productions at one of the city’s many historic theaters.

Visit the Spirits
In addition to being one of the world’s most charming cities, Savannah is one of its most haunted. Book a ride on the Ghosts and Gravestones trolley tour, the Creepy Crawl haunted pub tour or the Savannah Ghost Walks, or grab a table at the famously haunted Moon River Brewing Co., for a close encounter with one of the city’s more ghostly residents.

Discover the Flavors of the South
While Charleston has long been viewed as the standard bearer for the South’s culinary renaissance, Savannah is quickly gnawing away at their lead. Whether your tastes run toward the elevated sophistication of The Grey, the celebrated hospitality of Lady & Sons or the award-winning fare at Wiley’s Championship BBQ, your next inspiring meal is just a few blocks away. Crave a burger? Green Truck Pub is a must.

Witness Sports, Savannah Style
One of the newest attractions to grace The Hostess City, a Savannah Ghost Pirates game at EnMarket Arena always makes for a fun night out, even if you’ve never been to a hockey game before. And the famous shenanigans of the always-outrageous Savannah Bananas have made them one of baseball’s must-see teams.
