Savannah Solo Trip 🚶‍♀️

Savannah Solo Trip 🚶‍♀️ This was my first time traveling alone—and Savannah is perfect for a 2-3 day solo getaway! It’s small enough to explore easily, but has just enough to keep you busy without feeling overwhelmed ✨. Day 1: Wandering Downtown Squares & Food Hopping I spent my first day walking through every downtown square—they’re all so cute, with little fountains and mossy oaks 🌳! Checked off Collins Quarter for brunch (total win!), then hit River Front and Olde Pink House in the evening. Midday gets pretty hot (not ideal for slow walkers like me 😂), but there are shaded spots everywhere to cool down. Early mornings and after 3 PM are chef’s kiss for exploring—nice and breezy! Collins Quarter’s food was great: the avocado smash (creamy, with a zesty kick) and lavender mocha (sweet, not too floral) were both 10/10 ☕. 🏨 Hotel Rec: The Drayton Hotel Obsessed with this place! It has such a cozy, retro-art vibe—think vintage decor and soft lighting, super Instagram-worthy 📸. They even give you free sparkling wine every day (hello, solo trip luxury 🍷)! Location can’t be beat: right next to City Hall, and Vic’s by the River is just downstairs. No need to Uber everywhere—total time-saver! Day 2: Trolley Tours, Glass Blowing & Dolphin Watching I wanted to fill my day, so I woke up early for a trolley bus tour—and it was way more fun than I expected! The guide told me so much cool history: Savannah is where Girl Scouts started 🧸, there are tons of “murder houses” (spooky but fascinating 😱), the famous pink house is 5 years older than the U.S. itself, and the iron railings look so dreamy through the Spanish moss 🌿. Fun fact: Houses with red doors mean the mortgage is paid off—such a cute, proud little detail! In the afternoon, I tried a glass-blowing workshop… eh, it was just okay. Only do this if you have nothing else planned—you can make a tiny trinket, but it’s not super memorable 🪞. Evening was the highlight: I went to Tybee Island for dolphin watching! Seeing dolphins pop up to breathe under the sunset was magical 🐬—we spotted so many! Tybee’s beach itself is pretty average, though. My Uber driver said Hilton Head’s beaches are way better—you can even ride bikes on the sand! Maybe next time 🚲. Day 3: Churches, Glass Picks & Mrs. Wilkes’ Famous Dinner Started the day visiting a few churches (so elegant, with stunning stained glass ⛪), then picked up the glass piece I made the day before. Then came the big one: Mrs. Wilkes’ Dinner! This place is legendary—families were lining up for over an hour, and they close early to make sure there’s enough food for the buffet. Since I was alone, I only waited 20 minutes before joining a table with strangers—total luck! The meal was wild in the best way: everyone passed dishes around the table for 5 whole minutes, and there were over 10 Southern dishes to try 🥘. The fried chicken was insane—juicy, slightly salty, perfect. Even the random Southern dishes I couldn’t name were delicious! Such a fun, communal experience—definitely a solo trip highlight. P.S. Leopold’s Ice Cream downtown has a crazy long line. I’m just gonna hit the airport location instead—off to get my ice cream fix after finishing this post 🍦! #savannah#solotrip#SoloTravelVibes#SouthernAdventure
