Savannah Historic District

I suggest downloading a map of the Historic District before you go; it can get a bit confusing with all the squares and streets. It'll save you time wandering around. Plus, the app works offline!

For a unique view, I suggest bringing a camera for the sunset at River Street. Grab a drink from one of the local bars, and it's the perfect way to relax after a day of exploring.

Don't skip the ghost tours, but I think it's best to book in advance, especially in October. They fill up quickly, and you'll get a better price if you reserve early online!

If you're looking to save some cash, try eating at the food trucks around Forsyth Park. They're affordable and offer great local flavors. Avoid the touristy restaurants in the area, as they're usually pricier and not as good.
The Cathedral Basilica of St. John the Baptist

I suggest spending some time in the courtyard outside too. It's beautiful and often overlooked by most visitors. Great spot for some pics or just to relax for a bit!

Don't forget to take your time admiring the details, especially the altar. I rushed through and missed some really stunning features. Just a minute or two makes a huge difference!

My advice is to pack a snack if you plan to stay a while. There’s not much around for food right at the Cathedral, and you'll want to enjoy the tranquility without worrying about hunger.

I think visiting early in the morning around 9 AM is the way to go. The light streaming through the stained glass is just magical, and there are fewer people, so you can really soak it all in.
Chippewa Square

i recommend checking out the surrounding squares too! chippewa is lovely, but the nearby squares like lafayette offer more photo spots and peaceful vibes. you can walk between them and save time.

Don’t forget your camera! The square is super photogenic with those old trees and classic architecture. I missed some great shots because I didn’t plan for it.

My advice is to bring a snack. There are benches to sit on, and it’s nice to relax with a little bite while soaking in the architecture and history. I wish I'd had a drink with me.

I think visiting Chippewa Square in the morning around 9 AM is the best. Fewer crowds and you can enjoy the serenity before the tourists swarm in. Plus, the lighting for photos is awesome!
Fountain at Forsyth Park

Check out the local artisans and food stalls nearby. I stumbled upon some unique souvenirs and delicious snacks that made my trip even better!

My advice is to wear comfortable shoes. The paths are lovely but you’ll want to explore more of Forsyth Park and trust me you’ll do a lot of walking!

I suggest visiting the fountain early in the morning around 8 AM to avoid the crowds and get some amazing photos without people in them. The light is gorgeous too!
Johnson Square

If you're into architecture, take a close look at the historical buildings surrounding the square. I suggest downloading a self-guided tour app beforehand to enhance your visit, and save a few bucks on guides.

My advice is to visit in the morning, around 9 AM, when the light is perfect for photos, and it's a bit quieter... I went later and it felt crowded

I recommend grabbing a coffee from a nearby cafe before heading to the square. It makes the strolling around much more enjoyable! Plus, there's usually great people-watching going on

I think you should take a moment to sit on one of the benches and soak in the atmosphere. It really adds to the whole experience! I missed that part trying to rush through.
