What to do and see in Savannah, Georgia (GA): The Best Things to do Adventurous

November 11, 2021 Carley Gatson

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.

We still have plenty of creepy tales to share, though!). Drinks ARE NOT included in ticket price. You MUST have valid photo ID to participate.
