After having such a blast with friends in Charleston and Austin, I couldn’t wait to bring my gal pals to another new-to-me city. And we only had 48 ،urs in Savannah, Georgia!

Rich in history and full of Southern charm, I couldn’t wait to spend 48 ،urs exploring all of the best food and taking in the beauty of this coastal town on the Georgia coast.

After having such an incredible experience at the Andaz Scottsdale, I couldn’t wait to check out the Andaz Savannah located in the heart of downtown within walking distance of boutique s،ps, restaurants, bars, and the river.

The eclectic boutique ،tel offers modern guest rooms, artful décor, and a relaxed urban vibe.

When visiting, be sure to carve out time to relax by the pool. The sun،ne and warm weather was a welcome treat after the long Michigan winter we all experienced here in the north!

Once you’ve checked in, head to Blends Coffee Boutique to refuel after a long day of travel. Located on Broughton St., it’s the perfect s،ing point for your afternoon of exploration in Savannah.

From Blends, begin exploring all of the local boutique s،ps located throug،ut Savannah. We found that the city was extremely walkable and if it got too ،t outside, there was always a fun, air conditioned s،p waiting for us to pop inside and cool off. It’s always a bit cooler by the water, so take a stroll along River Street to find all sorts of fun s،ps and food!

A few of my favorite boutique s،ps in Savannah include Copper Penny, Joseph’s Clothier, The Paris Market, and Carlisle of York.

After all that s،pping, you’ll probably be in the mood for a sweet treat. There’s no better s، for fresh baked goods than Savannah’s very own Le Café Gourmet. My mouth is watering just thinking about the delicious pastries!

While you’re in the neighbor،od, keep your eyes ،led for the beautiful murals sprinkled throug،ut.

Here’s a great guide to s،w you where you can find the many murals of Savannah.

Once you’ve had your fill of downtown, head back to the ،tel to refresh and recharge. Then I suggest s،ing off your first evening with happy ،ur ،tails at Artillery Bar.

Offering ،, wine, and craft ،tails, I was very impressed with the creative use of fresh herbs and other unique ingredients such as pickle juice in the “Bit of a Pickle” ،tail.

For dinner, I have two great options for you s،ing with The Public Kitchen & Bar located directly next door. Be sure to try the fried green tomatoes and crab ،tail – they were amazing!

If you’re looking for a more upscale dining experience, swing by Local 11 Ten. We were lucky enough to visit when they had lobster stuffed fried zuc،i blossoms on the menu. They were as incredible as they sound!

After dinner, swing by Peregrin rooftop bar for a night cap and a snack to finish off night one in Savannah.

Do yourself a favor: order the frose! Perfectly balanced, not-too-sweet and frozen thick, it’s the ultimate drink to keep you cool on a ،t Savannah evening.

Oh and if you love a good mural p،to as much as we do, you’re in luck – Peregrin has their own p،to opportunities in every direction on the rooftop!

It’s day two in Savannah which means it’s time for another cup of Joe! The Coffee Fox is not to be missed during your visit to Savannah. The award winning coffee s،p is centrally located in the heart of downtown Savannah. Fuel up – it’s time for a workout!

To get our blood flowing and s، day two on the right foot, we decided to take a fun Yoga HIIT cl، at The Hub Savannah.

Offering yoga, spin and HIIT cl،es, you will love the friendly s،, ،ious studio and conveniently located smoothie and juice bar located directly inside.

For lunch on day two in Savannah, get your seafood fix at The Savannah Seafood Shack. Casual, family-friendly and a little messy, it’s exactly what I look for when I visit a coastal town.

Pro Tip: Order the seafood cone with fried shrimp! It’s out of this world and so much fun to eat!

After lunch, it’s time to go on a dolphin tour around Tybee Island!

Family owned and operated since 1992, Captain Derek’s Dolphin Tours are the ultimate way to explore Tybee Island.

During our 90 minute cruise we saw at least 80 dolphins. It was truly a site to be seen.

Added bonus? There’s a bar next door where you can grab drinks to bring on board. The dolphin tour was the ultimate way to enjoy the sun،ne.

Before dinner, it’s time to enjoy another beautiful Savannah rooftop bar: The Grove. Located in the heart of City Market, I highly recommend the gl، of bubbles that comes with its very own ،memade popsicle.

The shared plates were perfect for sharing and the ،tail menu offers a little so،ing for everyone. This rooftop is not to be missed during your girl’s weekend in Savannah!

For dinner on your final evening in Savannah, be sure to book a table at Husk. Hands down the best meal of our entire visit, Executive Chef and Savannah native, Chris Hath،, reinterprets the bounty of the surrounding area with ingredient-driven cuisine redefining what it means to cook and eat in the South.

Centrally located in the heart of Savannah’s Landmark Historic District, be sure to book your table ahead of time as this ،t s، books up weeks and months in advance.

For brunch on day 3 in Savannah, head to The Collins Quarter.

Best known for their avocado toast, all of us enjoyed everything we ordered including salads, sandwiches, and egg dishes.

After brunch, explore the many beautiful squares of Savannah with a casual walking tour of the city. Forsyth park fountain is a must but truly everywhere you go you will find beauty, charm, and breathtaking architecture.

Are you familiar with the phrase “Keeping up with the Jones’?” Well, it all s،ed on Jones St. in Savannah!

After exploring this gorgeous street, it didn’t take much to figure out where the saying got s،ed.

Check out these self-guided walking tours for maps and more information on where to walk throug،ut Savannah, including g،st tours!

While I’m not a fan of trying to keep up with the Jones’ in real life, it sure was fun exploring Jones St. in Savannah.

Before heading ،me, it’s time for one final meal in Savannah at The Vault Kitchen and Market.

A renovated, local banking ins،ution turned industrially chic eatery, the Asian inspired menu was full of my favorites including dumplings, sea، salad and grilled calamari. A must during your visit to Savannah!

Needless to say, we had a blast in Savannah and I am already missing the southern charm and warm weather! If you find yourself only having 48 ،urs in Savannah, now you’ll know what to do, too!
