Activities for Solo Travelers in Savannah

Immerse yourself in the rich history of the city, or be haunted by spooky ghost stories. You can do a pub crawl, a trolley ride, a haunted hearse tour, an architectural tour… the list goes on! Some solo travelers might opt for renting a bike and doing some exploring on their own. In Savannah, the scenery and flow of the city can easily be your guide. 

It doesn’t matter who you are: You can’t visit Savannah without doing some serious shopping! Broughton Street has a range of stores from big name brands to eclectic little shops. If you find yourself deeper into the heart of the city, you’ll come across countless clothing boutiques, art galleries, oddity shops and so much more. There’s also the River Street Market Place, the city’s open-air market, where you can shop countless vendors while taking in a view of the Savannah River.

Although there are a few shops in City Market, the lively area is most well-known for being a great place to be on the weekends with its mix of restaurants, bars and live music. Grab a drink and a bite to eat, find a comfy place to sit, and enjoy the sounds and scenery of Savannah’s bustling marketplace. 

You can’t have a solo travelers guide to Savannah without including the option of spending a day soaking up the sun on Tybee Island, Savannah's beach. Grab a good book, a cold drink, and get ready for a relaxing day in the sun and sand.

Savannah is home to dozens of historic homes, all of which offer various tours and are open to the public. Solo travelers should be sure to check out the Juliette Gordon Low Birthplace, the Owens-Thomas House and Slave Quarters, the Davenport House Museum and so many more fascinating homes.

Savannah is full of incredible artwork!  Step inside the Tiffani Taylor Gallery to see Savannah-inspired artwork created by painter and SCAD graudate Tiffani Taylor. Or spend the day inside the Jepson Center, which has rotating galleries, a TechSpace (showcasing a combination of computer science and digital art), and a mix of modern and contemporary pieces. 

Savannah is known for having plenty of places for solo travelers to indulge! From bars and breweries to rooftop restaurants and patio dining, whatever you fancy, there’s bound to be an option for you. Snag a sweet treat at Lulu’s Chocolate Bar or Leopold’s Ice Cream.
