A new year means new adventures await in your favorite southern city! 

For those who may have missed a trip to Savannah recently, we've been patiently awaiting your return. Here are 10 reasons why our city should be at the top of your 2022 travel list!

01

Diverse Neighborhoods

Savannah is a small city with big, diverse communities. Most visitors are familiar with Savannah’s Historic District, but there are surrounding neighborhoods bursting with their own unique personality. Tour beautiful architecture in the Victorian District, get inspired in the emerging, undeniably hip Starland District or venture out of downtown to sample Savannah’s quiet Lowcountry in the Moon River District.

Local Products

Scenic Sips

There is not much that "tops" rooftop drinks (get it?). All jokes aside, one of the best ways to enjoy Savannah's stunning skyline is by enjoying a tasty libation on one of our premier rooftop bars. Sip on a Top Deck Mojito while watching large cargo ships navigate the Savannah River or immerse yourself in a botanically-inspired cocktail at the charming Myrtle & Rose Rooftop Garden at the new Plant Riverside District.

Keep Working Remote

If 2020 has taught us anything, it's that we need to be creative with our work spaces. If you find yourself working remote this year, consider switching up your home office for a unique spot in Savannah. With options like spacious historic squarescozy coffee shops or a boutique hotel lobby, you will have no problem feeling comfortable (and inspired) while getting your work done.
