Morning: learn the city on foot

Start with Savannah Bestie Day Out at $49 if you want a host to connect Forsyth, squares, stories and the waterfront. If you prefer DIY, follow the same south-to-north logic.

Lunch: keep it central

Choose lunch somewhere that does not require leaving downtown unless the restaurant itself is your destination.

Afternoon: one attraction, not four

Bonaventure, a museum, shopping or the riverfront are all strong; stacking them usually means you experience none of them well.

Dinner: reserve the meal you actually care about

Savannah has too many restaurants to improvise every meal during a short trip.

Night: make it memorable

Choose the Drag Queen Bar Crawl, The Traveling Ghost, or during the holidays the Naughty or Nice Christmas Crawl.
