8 Ways to Stretch Your Vacation Dollar in Savannah, Georgia
Traveling to Savanah, GA on a budget? Try these tips to save money. You’ll still enjoy all the sites, but go home with more cash in your pocket.
1) Book a Historic District Vacation Rental for June, July or August: Many downtown vacation rentals are offering off-season rates in the summer, a savings of 10% or greater. These vacation rentals, which range from studio apartments to 5-bedroom houses in the heart of the Historic District, are already cost-effective for couples traveling with other couples, or families of three or more. But now, you can pocket the extra savings, or use it for a nice dinner out on the town. (And by the way, the historic downtown is only 20 minutes to the beach, so you can make a daytrip to Tybee Island, if you like).
2) Prepare a meal or two every day at your Historic Distric vacation rental. Most of the homes come with fully equipped kitchens. And, there’s a Kroger within easy walking distance from homes located near Whitfield Square or Forsyth Park. So you can shop for breakfast or lunch effortlessly.
3) When you do go out for dinner, eat at the locals’ restaurants. Most of the tourist restaurants are located on River Street. It’s certainly worth walking along this historic, cobblestone street, but head to Bay or Broughton Streets for lunch or dinner. You’ll find good food there for reasonable prices.
4) Enjoy a picnic in Forsyth Park or one of the city’s beautiful squares (or parks). A good place to pick up sandwiches or some lunch is Parker’s Market on Drayton Street. The food is great, the prices are reasonable and you can order your lunch to go.
5) If possible, ask for advice from someone who grew up in Savannah. The locals have the inside scoop. And, if you stay in a Historic District vacation rental (see point #1), you’ll find that many of your neighbors are permanent Savannah residents.
6) Walking the city’s beautiful squares and side streets provides its own storytelling. Check out the 18th and 19th century architecture, wrought ironwork on the houses, historic landmarks (from both the Civil and Revolutionary wars) and plaques and you’ll have your own delightful walking tour, free of charge.
7) Pick up a free Connect Savannah at many locations around town. You’ll find many free or low-cost concerts, events and activities that will be suitable for the whole family.
Visit the Savannah Convention & Visitors’ Bureau on Martin Luther King Blvd. You’ll find free brochures, maps and advice from representatives there about the most affordable ways to enjoy the city.
