Savannah is the fifth-largest city in the Peach State but its historic district is compact and easily walkable. Most streets and walkways are pedestrian-friendly and well-marked with helpful signage.
While public transportation isn’t essential for getting around, there are plenty of options should you decide you want to use it. Stick to one or mix it up – there’s no one right way to explore. When it comes to time, money and ease of mobility, any of the following make touring this gorgeous coastal city simple and convenient.
These free, hop-on/hop-off shuttles are a tremendous boon to Savannah. They offer a breather from the elements, run frequently, and have WiFi. The blue Downtown loop runs east to west. Several parking garages are on this route, which can be handy if you want to “park and ride” your personal vehicle.
The purple Forsyth loop runs north and south around Forsyth Park. Both lines operate on a daily basis but not on Thanksgiving, Christmas, or New Year’s Day. Service animals are allowed on board and all shuttles are handicap-accessible.
The beauty of Savannah lies in its details and traveling on foot will ensure you don't miss a thing. Whether it’s a brisk jog or strolling at a snail's pace, you can roam freely without much hassle from car traffic.

Excursions typically last 60-90 minutes. Ask ahead about discounts for groups, students, or package deals. For a more romantic alternative, spend a date night loping along beneath live oaks in a horse-drawn carriage.

It’s a running joke in the South that how you greet someone can reveal volumes about where you are from.
