What is Savannah, GA best known for?
Savannah is best known for these activities:
1. A Walking Tour of The City. For a self-guided walking tour, this is my recommended route: Start by walking the length of River Street. Then make your way to the City Market and Ellis Square. Next, head south down Bull Street and then hang a left to visit Chippewa Square (the filming site of the park bench in the movie Forest Gump) and the Cathedral of St. John (make sure you go inside!). Then keep heading south to Forsyth Park.

What is the best month to visit Savannah?
Spring is usually the perfect time of year to visit Savannah for the weather, festivals, and flowers. March – May is one of the city’s peak seasons because it will be warm and sunny, the magnolias will be blooming, the humidity won’t be too bad, and the Tybee Island Wine Festival is in April. So you’ll want to book your accommodation and tours in advance to ensure availability.
June – August is the other peak travel season for Savannah. Daytime temperatures will be in the 90s, and the humidity will make it feel more like 100, so plan your walking or biking excursions in the mornings and evenings. In the summer, you’ll need to book hotels, vacation homes, and excursions in advance to save some money and secure your spot.
September – December is Savannah’s shoulder season. Daytime temperatures will range from the 70s to the 40s as the holidays approach. Tourist numbers, prices, and humidity will be lower. In December, the city is beautifully decorated for Christmas, and as long as you avoid the Christmas – New Year’s corridor, you can still score some good hotel deals.
January and February are the off-season. If you don’t mind daytime temperatures ranging from the 30s to the low 60s, you can find some cheap accommodation rates. If you’re here in February, then you’ll want to attend the Black Heritage Festival, and you’ll want warm layers and rain gear during these months.
