Day 1

Day 1

Arrival and easy first stops

  • Check into Andaz Savannah after arrival and take time to get settled before heading back out.
  • Start with Owens-Thomas House & Slave Quarters. A real historic-house visit that makes the itinerary's architecture-and-history option much more specific.
  • Keep the night simple with one good dinner and an early reset so the trip starts smoothly for a couple.
Day 2

Day 2

Telfair Academy day

  • Start the morning with breakfast at The Public Kitchen & Bar.
  • Make Telfair Academy. A real Savannah museum visit that gives the destination a concrete art-and-history option instead of a planning placeholder.
  • Pair it with Tybee Island Day. A top-tier Savannah-area coastal outing built around Atlantic shoreline, dunes, and the easy beach-town contrast that makes Tybee a genuine highlight beyond the historic district.
  • If you still have energy, add Bonaventure Cemetery. A signature Savannah heritage outing centered on Bonaventure's moss-draped avenues, funerary sculpture, and one of the city's most distinctive atmospheric landscapes beyond the downtown squares.
  • Leave anything beyond these stops optional so the day still feels comfortable.
  • Plan lunch at Rhett, dinner at Crystal Beer Parlor, and dessert at Back in the Day Bakery.

Day 3

Forsyth Park and Neighborhood Walk day

  • If you still have energy, add Historic District Squares. The defining Savannah experience and the real structure of the trip.
  • Leave anything beyond these stops optional so the day still feels comfortable.
  • Plan lunch at Rhett, dinner at The Public Kitchen & Bar, and dessert at Leopold's Ice Cream.

Day 4

Final morning and departure

  • Leave a little margin for bags, traffic, and one last unhurried moment.
  • Plan lunch at The Public Kitchen & Bar, dinner at Cotton & Rye, and dessert at Leopold's Ice Cream.
