City Life
Savannah is a rich Southern city steeped in culture, history, and adventure, and you can explore it all via local transportation. There’s a bike rental system, 15 fixed bus routes, trolleys, free shuttles, and a ferry to help you get around the city. And once you find your transportation method, the city of Savannah awaits for you to explore.
There are several distinct areas of Savannah, each bursting with its own charm and characteristics. Centuries of history, 100 restaurants, and 22 park squares are part of Historic District, while the Starland section is hip, hopping, and artsy.
Venture to Moon River and you’ll be in the quaint marine area with its forest trails and salt marshes. Savannah is also one of the most haunted cities in the states, and you can take a ghost tour to catch a few spirits, either on a trolley or on foot.
Last but not least, the events in Savannah have made it one of the most liveliest places in Georgia. Some of the highlights include the Savannah Children’s Book Festival, the Savannah Music Festival, and the Tybee Island Pirate Fest.
