Things to See and Do in Savannah

River Street
River Street is a lot of fun, but to be totally honest it's something of a tourist trap. Don't let that stop you from spending a few hours on River Street though because there are a few great restaurants and the sunset shows are a blast. The hotels on and around River Street are also very convenient to the town and the action if that is something you desire. The cheese comes from the tacky T-shirt shops that seem to dominate the area, but it is redeemed somewhat by the River Street Sweets - get the pralines!
Old Town Savannah and the Squares
The real jewel of Savannah is her squares and the beautiful homes that surround them. The best of Savannah is not had in a tourist shop but on the streets. You can spend days walking the streets and viewing the amazing homes that date back to Georgia's early days. A fun home to tour for Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil fans is the Mercer House located on Bull Street.
Bonaventure Cemetery
Just like Savannah, Bonaventure is one of the most special places in the world. This haunting, yet beautiful, cemetery sits next to the river and slowly watches time pass by as those that built Savannah rest peacefully. The unique memorials surrounded by the Spanish moss covered trees make Bonaventure a photographer and artist dream come true. Bonaventure Cemetery is a must stop while visiting Savannah. Just be mindful that this is a graveyard and family members often visit as well so be respectful and quiet.
Savannah's Beach
If you want to make your Savannah trip more interesting try heading over to Tybee Island for a fun day on the beach. Tybee is a small island about fifteen minutes outside of town and has a few fun things to do other than hanging out in the sand. You can view the and old fort and museum and climb the stairs to the top of an old Tybee lighthouse. If you like being near the ocean consider getting a hotel in Tybee and driving to Savannah each day for sightseeing.
