Top 10 Things to do for Honeymoon in Savannah, Georgia (GA)
Charming Savannah is the picture of antebellum hospitality, thanks to period architecture and oak-lined streets. It’s tempting to spend your trip just relaxing on vast verandas and sipping mint juleps, but there are plenty of historical sites and museums to explore. Haunting (and possibly haunted) Bonaventure Cemetery is one of the hallmarks of the city, featuring beautiful obelisks, masses of flowers, and ivy-covered crypts. Dine on fresh seafood and creamy grits for a taste of Savannah home cooking.

This enormous Cathedral is in the heart of historic Savannah and is an exotically prayerful & powerful landmark for which to visit, admire, study, film and light a candle.

Walking history tours of beautiful Bonaventure Cemetery with roundtrip transportation from Historic Downtown Savannah, all for about the same price as what other tour companies charge to "meet you out there."
3. Savannah Historic District

Savannah's picturesque historic district brings the traditional southern atmosphere to life.
Reviewed By mmwinters
The Savannah historic district will thrill those who love American history, especially colonial or civil war times; African American history; art and architecture; seafood or southern foods; trees and landscaping; fountains and sculptures. Several convenient modes of travel will help you get around - trolleys, horse-drawn carriages, Uber type services, and the free DOT bus system. Parking for cars is limited. I think it would be difficult to try to see things with your personal car. Be sure to wear a good pair of walking shoes and stay hydrated. It’s hard to recommend the “best” things to see and do. As a history lover, I wanted to see it ALL and hope to return someday to see the places I couldn’t get worked in. I think Savannah, budding and blooming in the spring, would be the most beautiful time to tour. August is very hot and humid, but bearable because the the sites are just so darned interesting and the beach is nearby!

Unique sanctuary, informative and knowledgeable guide, and a small museum with 700 year old artifacts. Learned so much that I was not aware of.

This is our second time seeing this wonderful Christmas Show. The theater is beautifully restored Art Deco style with great history since the early 1800’s. We love the Christmas Tradition performance. So festive & entertaining. The cast are incredibly talented. We love how the show features dancing, singing, acrobatics, comedy & even children in their acts. The show was about 2 hours with a 15 minute intermission which was the perfect amount of time. We like the seats in first row balcony center & have a perfect view of everything on stage without being to close. The theater spaced out seating for Covid comfort. The concession stand serves the usual popcorn, candy & drinks however they also have wine & the most delicious warm peach cobbler.

Gary has painstakingly assembled this collection spanning everything from the Revolution to Desert Storm and has it all displayed along with pictures of the soldiers who wore the uniforms, relevant newspapers and old letters (some of my favorites). He's generous with his time and information as well; this is a must-see I would say!
