River Street
Luckily, you will be boarding the Georgia Queen from River Street. The old cobblestone streets weave you through historic buildings, housing shops and award-winning restaurants. Learn the unique history of this street while you take a scenic stroll.
Chippewa Square
Forrest Gump made Chippewa Square famous with its bench scenes, where Forrest waited for the bus. They actually used at least four fiberglass benches while filming these scenes on the square. One of which was donated to the city and moved into the Savannah History Museum.
Forsyth Park

Don’t miss a walk through the park’s Fragrant Garden, and before you leave, grab a coffee at the Collins Quarter in Forsyth Park to have the perfect park experience.
Tybee Island
A visit to the coast wouldn’t be complete without a trip to Tybee Island, Savannah’s Beach. Located only 20 minutes away from Savannah’s Historic District, Tybee Island is home to three miles of beautiful beaches, locally-caught seafood and historic sites.
Wormsloe Historic Site
A breathtaking avenue sheltered by live oaks and Spanish moss leads to the tabby ruins of Wormsloe, the colonial estate of Noble Jones (1702–1775). Jones was a humble carpenter who arrived in Georgia in 1733 with James Oglethorpe and the first group of settlers from England. Wormsloe's tabby ruin is the oldest standing structure in Savannah.
