The Savannah City Guides answer the questions every visitor has: where to find real Lowcountry cooking away from River Street, which house museums deserve your morning, how to reach Tybee and the forts without a tour bus and where the evening goes once the squares fall quiet. Each guide is a short, opinionated list with the reason to go, what to order or see and one useful tip for every place, and it opens in your browser as soon as you pay.

Three places from the guides
The Grey
109 Martin Luther King Jr Blvd, Historic District
A 1938 Greyhound bus station reborn as one of the best-known kitchens in the South, cooking coastal Southern plates such as local oysters and whole grilled fish. Sit at the bar if you can: the old station is half the reason to come. From the food guide.
Wormsloe State Historic Site
7601 Skidaway Road, about 20 min by car from downtown
More than 400 live oaks draped in Spanish moss line the avenue that stands for Georgia on a thousand postcards. Your ticket also covers parking, a small museum and a colonial ruin at the end of the walk. From the day trips guide.
Bonaventure Cemetery
330 Bonaventure Road, about 15 min by car from downtown
Victorian statues and old oaks beside the river, with songwriter Johnny Mercer among those buried here. Entry costs nothing, so give yourself an hour and a half to wander. From the budget guide.
Play the game, then let the guide take over
World City Trail’s Savannah scavenger hunt, escape game and audio tour lead you through the historic centre. The guides pick up once the game is done: lunch at a Southern classic, a rooftop drink as the container ships pass, an afternoon on Tybee Island or a free stroll under the oaks of Bonaventure Cemetery.
