Downtown is your advantage

If you stay in or near the historic district, many of Savannah’s most visited areas connect naturally on foot: Forsyth, Bull Street squares, Broughton, Factors Walk and River Street.

Use walking tours as transportation plus orientation

A tour such as Savannah Bestie Day Out moves you through the city while also teaching you how the districts fit together.

Nightlife without moving the car

Hosted downtown products like the Drag Queen Bar Crawl and Traveling Ghost let you keep the night centered in the walkable core.

Christmas makes the riverfront even more useful

The Savannah Christmas Market at Plant Riverside District sits directly on the waterfront, which means holiday visitors can combine market time, dinner and Naughty or Nice without building the day around parking.

Know when to rideshare

Bonaventure, airport transfers and some restaurants outside the historic core are the obvious times to use a rideshare instead of forcing the entire trip to be pedestrian-only.
