What things cost in Savannah
Thirty dollars buys seven days across all three Telfair museums, the best value downtown by some distance. Mrs. Wilkes charges a flat cash price around thirty for lunch. A scoop at Leopold's is a few dollars, a ghost tour usually thirty to forty, and metered street parking a couple of dollars an hour. The DOT shuttle and the Savannah Belles Ferry cost nothing at all.
What first-timers get wrong in Savannah
Traffic must circle the squares rather than cut through them, so driving downtown is far slower than the map suggests; walk instead. Meters run into the evening six days a week and take app payment. Sand gnats bite hardest in spring and shrug off most repellent. Book anything for the week around March 17 months ahead, because St. Patrick's Day is the largest event on the city calendar.
What's actually worth your time in Savannah
Savannah's draw is the plan itself: Oglethorpe's grid of squares, twenty-two of the original twenty-four still shaded by live oaks, and walking Bull Street through Chippewa, Madison and Monterey costs nothing. Forsyth Park's 1858 fountain and the sculpted plots of Bonaventure Cemetery repay the trip out. River Street is a candy-and-souvenir gauntlet on ballast stone; go once at dusk, then leave. Wormsloe sells an avenue of oaks and little else.
When the weather turns in Savannah
Afternoon thunderstorms arrive most summer days and pass within the hour. Duck into the Jepson Center, the Ships of the Sea Maritime Museum with its cased model hulls, or the American Prohibition Museum and its working speakeasy. The Cathedral Basilica of St. John the Baptist is free and cool. Plant Riverside hides a fossil and geode collection in its atrium, and the Savannah Bee Company pours mead flights.
Savannah's museums, and which one to pick
One thirty-dollar ticket covers all three Telfair sites for seven days, and they close Mondays plus St. Patrick's Day, when the city belongs to the parade. Telfair Academy is a Regency mansion holding the Bird Girl statue lifted from Bonaventure. The Jepson Center, by Moshe Safdie, handles contemporary work and a children's wing. Owens-Thomas House keeps intact urban slave quarters with haint-blue ceilings and no lift.
