Visit Chippewa Square to see the famous bench location from Forrest Gump, then stroll over to Monterey Square to admire the stunning Mercer-Williams House.

Lunch: Enjoy lunch at Huey’s on the River, where you can indulge in their renowned beignets alongside Creole-inspired dishes. Situated along the Savannah River, it’s the perfect spot to refuel before diving into the city’s rich history.

Afternoon: Spend the afternoon exploring the Savannah Riverwalk, browsing unique shops and taking in the scenic views. Stop by local boutiques or enjoy a riverside drink. For history enthusiasts, visit the Cathedral Basilica of St. John the Baptist, a breathtaking example of Gothic architecture, or take a guided tour at the Georgia State Railroad Museum to learn about Savannah’s industrial past.

Evening: Return to your hotel for a quick refreshment before embarking on an evening carriage ride through the Historic District. The soft glow of lanterns and the rhythmic clop of hooves make for a romantic and atmospheric journey through Savannah’s storied past.

Dinner: Wrap up your evening with dinner at The Olde Pink House. This is a Savannah staple offering elevated Southern cuisine in an elegant yet welcoming atmosphere. Try their famous shrimp and grits or pecan-crusted chicken for a true taste of the South.

Morning: Start your day with a relaxed breakfast at Collins Quarter, known for its Australian-inspired menu and excellent coffee. Their avocado toast or short rib hash are perfect choices to fuel your morning.

After breakfast, take a peaceful stroll through Forsyth Park, soaking in the morning light as it filters through the towering oaks. Pause by the iconic fountain for a photo or simply enjoy the tranquility of this lush urban escape.

Before Check-Out: With a late check-out arranged, take time to explore any last-minute sights or visit Leopold’s Ice Cream for a mid-morning treat. Their handmade flavors and old-fashioned charm make it a Savannah must-try.

Late Check-Out and Departure: Return to your hotel to pack up and take advantage of your late check-out. Say goodbye to Savannah’s charm, knowing that even a short trip can create lasting memories.
