Avenue of live oaks with Spanish moss

Historic District

Savannah, on foot

Twenty-two squares, one river and a city that rewards walking slowly. Everything below is within a stroll or a short ride.

Our neighborhood

Steps from the door

6 min walk

Forsyth Park

Thirty acres of live oaks, the famous fountain and a Saturday farmers' market. Our morning run loops here twice a week.

10 min walk

Bull Street squares

Monterey, Madison and Chippewa Square — where the city was planned in 1733 and where the Forrest Gump bench once stood.

12 min walk

Broughton Street

Savannah's main street: independent boutiques, Leopold's Ice Cream (since 1919) and the Lucas Theatre.

15 min walk

River Street

Cobblestones, cotton warehouses turned into taverns, the riverboats and the Waving Girl statue.

8 min walk

SCAD Museum of Art

Contemporary art inside a railway depot from 1853 — and the design school's students shape half the city's cafés.

14 min walk

City Market

Open-air market with galleries, live music and the best place to start a ghost tour after dark.

Stone gateway under moss-covered oaks

Bonaventure Cemetery — the most beautiful place to get lost.

A little further

Worth the ride

15 min by car

Bonaventure Cemetery

Victorian monuments under century-old oaks along the Wilmington River. Free; guided tours on weekends.

20 min by car

Wormsloe Historic Site

The 1.5-mile oak avenue is the picture everyone takes home. Tabby ruins of the 1740s estate at the end.

30 min by car

Tybee Island

Georgia's beach: wide sand, the lighthouse from 1736 and dolphin tours from the pier. Our shuttle runs Saturdays in summer.

10 min by car

Starland District

Murals, craft breweries and the food halls of Savannah's creative quarter — best on a Thursday evening.

Our concierge team — and Harper in the chat — will happily book tours, restaurants and tickets for you, and know which square is quietest for a picnic.
