The "grid system" plan is why it is so walkable. One of the rare, small American cities that have a European feel. I miss and will always love this special city. You both did a fantastic job with the video 🙌💕
Hi. Heading to Savannah on July 14. Thank you for all of the helpful information as I have never visited this very lovely, historic city before. Thanks again!
WOW..my mom was born and raised In Savannah GA but later moved to Rochester, NY in 1975. Her name Is Marie Stafford and she just had her 70th birthday on August the 2nd. Would like to visit Savannah when before Christmas season. 👍.
Hello, guys! What a very, very interesting content to discover Savannah! Such a fascinating city full of things to do and enjoy! LOVE the US and like to discover more and more! Hugs and cheers from Italy! And my huge like for a great work! Renata
Savannah!!! I really like that place! I didn't know about Bay Street though, looks very nice! But I even just released a song taking place in Savannah called Savannah-Hannah, I really hope I could capture Savannah in it!
Depends on what sort of cash you wanna spend on it. The downtown area is gonna be pricey and it's pretty cramped but you've got everything right there. The landings are a good community about a 15-20 minute drive to downtown, pricey again but super quiet with gate guards and you can have a big backyard. All of the islands, Wilmington, Tybee, Hutchinson island aren't too far away from the action bout 20-30 minutes from downtown. However there's only one road to Tybee and if there's an accident cancel your plans. Don't forget orange crush which is basically a week of heavy traffic and people destroying the island. Pooler is nice with quiet communities but the traffic from 4-6 everyday can make you want to scream. All in all there's great places to retire and if you're already coming from a big city than the traffic won't be too bad for you. I'd look into bluffton and hilton head south Carolina too. I'm a delivery driver for sav so I've seen everyone's houses lol
I’ve never been out there before my son went out there and fell in love and he’s moving there and he told me that I would love it and so I thought I need to see a video he is so right it’s like a dream
Love this video! Local Savannahian here, everything about your video is accurate except the part about Savannah having no open container laws... that is not true. We have what is called "OPEN" container laws, meaning you can legally carry an open container of alcohol anywhere in the historic district only. :)
Is it clearly marked where you can and can’t take your drinks? We are going to Savannah in April and my husband gets a goofy thrill from walking around the streets with a beer (he insisted on doing it every night we were in New Orleans) even though he’s not a big drinker, just because it’s something we can’t do in Pennsylvania, but I’m always worried we will get fined without a warning haha
If you're living or from an old historical place this place to site see would be for you. But if you're from upscaled cities like Queen City of Charlotte NC...when visiting Savannah it really feels and looks old.
I'm visiting there next month. Are there any places to park for free and I need a motel to stay for a few days. Maybe I can just leave my truck there while doing a walking tour.
Thank you for the video. My girlfriend and I are planning to drive to Savannah from Atlanta in late September. What hotel did you stay at? Thanks again.
Hi! We hope you have a great time when you visit! If you google "Savannah Holly Days" it'll pull up the cities winter calendar. Seems like they have some fun things planned!
That's actually not the original bench from the movie. I believe it even says it on a sign nearby. And how did you not talk about some of the gravestones in Colonial Cemetery. Pay attention to some and you'll see some buried there died before they were born. 😂
Great video. Please consider re-phrasing your comment on the original “true” American. As the original native tribes in the area were forcibly removed by president Andrew Jackson even after fighting for his army.
I live in Savannah in the historic district on the river, and I work for the city. Savannah is average (at best). If you like tee shirt shops, public drunkenness, hood behavior and vagrants; you will love Savannah. The food scene is overrated and overpriced. I can think of 4 places that I would recommend: the Gryphon on Bull (limited hours $$), The Grey on MLK (in the old Greyhound Station $$$$), The Pink House on Reynolds square, and Saint Bibiana (east side of Forsyth Park in Hotel Bardo on Drayton $$$$) most other places in the historic district range from just average to outright tourist trap. *An important note regarding the Pink House... Reynolds Square is a vagrant gathering point as there is a mission on the square as well. Hold your nose and use caution if you go. Johnson Square and Ellis Square are also hotspots for the unhoused to occupy benches; really basically any square with tourist foot traffic will have panhandlers and people nodding on benches. There is no food on River St or Bay St that I would waste my time or money on. There are a couple of OK places to grab a drink and a bite in the Plant Riverside complex along the river, but bring your wallet. The Savannah River, is a good place to watch ships, but I would stick to the Plant Riverside, or the Eastern Wharf area for that. Eastern Wharf Park has a decent place called Squirrels Pizza. They have an outdoor bar and seating area (no indoor). The Thompson Hotel at Eastern wharf has THE best rooftop bar in Savannah, Bar Jullian. If you want a view, this is your spot. Both Eastern Wharf and Plant Riverside are newer developments and just plain nicer/cleaner/safer (after dark in particular) than the rest of the area along the river. I live at Eastern Wharf and we have a private security company patrolling 24/7. Don't let anyone try and convince you that Savannah is safe to roam around in, especially after dark; because it is not. Steer clear of City Market at night, just trust me on this one. Like many locals, I don't normally venture out on foot in Savannah after dark without a gun. What tourist videos generally call the "business district" (Broughton) is a joke. Mostly just trinket/tee shirt shops, tourist trap eateries and candy stores. You WILL have addicts sitting on the sidewalk and on benches hitting you up all along Broughton St. Another thing to know about Broughton is, if you go and stand in line at Leopold's for ice cream; we laugh at you. It's just ice cream. The real business district is on the Southside of Savannah (below DeRenne). If you are not from here, don't venture down there. People talk up the areas that they want to pretend are eclectic, like Starland Yards (midtow-nish)... it is just hipsters and SCAD students. As for Tybee, it is a mecca for redneck tourists. We call it the PCB of the East Coast and Little Myrtle Beach. During the season, Tybee is an absolute trainwreck. Trashy, dirty, redneck, way overcrowded and just plain gross. Go to Hilton Head if you want a nice beach experience. That is where we (and everyone we know from Savannah) go to the beach.
No, America didn't exist in native days. The man was one of the first people born in America after the country was officially founded. Those 'natives' at the time would have considered themselves Cherokee, Seminole, and other nations - not American.

That sounds great.
Lies again? Remember The Name Grab Apple
I live in Savannah, and I’ve been taking it for granted. Nice video 😊
Definitely adding Savannah to my next city to visit!
Wooo hoo! It's worth it, such an iconic and one-of-a-kind city! 😊
Hi. Heading to Savannah on July 14. Thank you for all of the helpful information as I have never visited this very lovely, historic city before. Thanks again!
We hope you have an AMAZING trip! It's such a beautiful city!
I lived there 20 years.The people are great.Wish I never left.
What a gorgeous city!!
You got a great voice, man. It sounds perfect for this video tour.
WOW..my mom was born and raised In Savannah GA but later moved to Rochester, NY in 1975.
Her name Is Marie Stafford and she just had her 70th birthday on August the 2nd.

Great video! My daughters will be taking me there for a November 2024 vacation as a 70th birthday present. This trip should be so much fun!
Great video, super informative! thankyou!
Awesome!
Have a great week everyone!
Thanks! And yes! Happy Monday! 😊
Savannah!!! I really like that place! I didn't know about Bay Street though, looks very nice! But I even just released a song taking place in Savannah called Savannah-Hannah, I really hope I could capture Savannah in it!
Looking for a retirement home in Savannah and this video was very helpful in giving me an idea of what is around the city, thank you!
Tybee Island is where I'd go

Nice summary of Savannah's highlights. I would add, however, that walking within and between the six or so most central squares is a must.
I love the map feature you provide in the video. Really helps me understand the layout of the city.
Great video, going to use your suggestions as I plan out my travel guide. I plan on checking out Savannah in the spring
I heard when the GI’s returned from Europe that Savannah was a popular place to plant their roots!
Well I'd wager you heard right! 😊
I’ve never been out there before my son went out there and fell in love and he’s moving there and he told me that I would love it and so I thought I need to see a video he is so right it’s like a dream
I remember walking where the Julian Bar is now when it was just dirt. Best sunset spot in all the city.
Beautiful city
It really is! Savannah is a one-of-a-kind city! 😊

Smashing the like button!
Truly Amazing place reminds me of Riverwalk N San antonio
Yes please links
My husband might be getting station there.
Sharing- useful !=))
Thanks so much! 😃
Good lord! That's in America? I didn't know America had cities that look like that. Looks like Portugal or Amsterdam .
Your right! It really is a gem in the states! Such a pretty city!
I'm visiting there next month. Are there any places to park for free and I need a motel to stay for a few days. Maybe I can just leave my truck there while doing a walking tour.
not free but Bryan's parking is a cheap parking garage
Georgia Queen in my dreams.
Which city is cooler/more fun: Savannah or Charleston ?
Savannah by a landslide
Savannah has way better vibes due to it's dense foilage and greens. Charleston is a little more sunny but both are amazing in terms of architecture.
Can the dog can go the cruise ?
Thank you for the video. My girlfriend and I are planning to drive to Savannah from Atlanta in late September. What hotel did you stay at? Thanks again.
3 shot today across from savannah high at 2 pm. beware very dangerous place

And how did you not talk about some of the gravestones in Colonial Cemetery. Pay attention to some and you'll see some buried there died before they were born. 😂

so the food was "Iconic" but the statue was "old"(not Historic)...get of my travel lawn kids.
beware very dangerous
She described this man as one of the first true Americans in this country. No he wasn't. The first true Americans were the native indians.
No, America didn't exist in native days. The man was one of the first people born in America after the country was officially founded. Those 'natives' at the time would have considered themselves Cherokee, Seminole, and other nations - not American.
Only insecure people, who despise themselves, virtue signals
No it was the Aztec…aka Mexicans
The first "true" American was a Native.
