Girls Getaways: Savannah

I’ve always had a sweet spot for Savannah. The name alone evokes a slower pace to enjoy life. A couple of years ago, my husband surprised me by inviting some of our friends over for a day trip to Savannah. Remembering it made me think how much fun it would be to go again with some of my friends. Here is a short weekend getaway itinerary that anyone can follow as a guide!

While Savannah has a lot to offer and what you and the group end up doing ultimately depends on what everyone wants and what their interests are. You can enjoy the typical girlfriend getaway activities, but if you’re more adventurous, everyone can go the road less traveled. For example, take some photos in front of the Savannah Gas Company Globe. Originally built in the 1950s, it has since been repainted to represent the view from outer space. There’s also the option to take a photo with Savannah’s “Waving Girl.” This statue along the riverbank is reminiscent of Florencia Martus, the woman who greeted ships with a wave for nearly forty-four years!

If you are foodies, Savannah has great food tours and cooking classes. The Savor Savanah Food Tour through Epitourean’s Edible Destinations is a great one to choose for such an activity! If you don’t want an entire food tour all to yourself, go ahead and make your own list of places to visit during your stay. If you go without a list, just ask the hotel concierge or the locals where they would recommend that it’s not too touristy.

The City Market is another attraction that is really not to be missed. It has been a cornerstone of the city since it began in the early 18th century. You and your friends can walk up to it and include it on a sightseeing trolley tour. Speaking of tours, there are plenty besides foodies that you can experience with your group. There is one that allows you to explore Savannah’s historic taverns. Any cinephile or cinephile in the group? There’s also a movie tour of the city’s historic district!

While this is certainly an extremely short list of ideas, it may also be enough to whet your appetite to share this destination with your friends for a weekend! It is also the kind of destination that you can go to repeatedly with your friends and family.
