Savannah has some of the oldest homes in the country, dating as far back as the mid 1700’s. I got lucky and had one fresh out of the oven while it was still warm and chewy. You can’t leave without trying one! I loved the hand-dipped pralines at Savannah’s Candy Kitchen along the riverfront. I know it’s a bit strange to have a cemetery on the list of “fun things to do”, but it’s truly one of the most hauntingly beautiful experiences in Savannah.Ī praline is to Savannah as beignets are to New Orleans. When the words “death” and “beautiful” are used in the same sentence, chances are likely you’re describing the Bonaventure Cemetery. The exterior is stunning, but if you’re looking to visit inside the church, is open for visitors Monday-Saturday – 9:00 A.M. It’s one of the most photographed spots in Savannah with towering spires and over 80 stained glass windows. John the Baptist, and you’ll feel as though you’ve been transported to Europe.

If you’re looking for a unique souvenir to bring back home, you’ll find it at Wright Square Vintage & Retro Mall. A lex Raskin’s Antiques is a bit of a secret spot in Savannah that can’t be missed if you want to see some truly unique antiques in a beautiful historic mansion. The oldest piece is from the 1500s, and the newest is from 1967. Picture an unrestored antebellum mansion with one-of-a-kind international antiques from around the world – that’s Alex Raskin’s Antiques. My two antique store recommendations are Alex Raskin’s Antiques and Wright Square Vintage & Retro Mall. Savannah alone has over 20 antique stores for every style and taste.

If you’re like me, and you want to see as much as possible on a trip, consider taking a trolley tour. We saw a wedding setting up here and another couple get engaged all in the 20 minutes we were at Forsyth Park! 2.
