Detailed itinerary
1
One of Savannah’s most iconic and allegedly haunted buildings, The Olde Pink House blends 18th-century elegance with a hint of the supernatural. Known for its fine dining and flickering candlelight, it exudes the Southern charm and mystery that define the city itself.
2
Stop 2
Nestled in the heart of Savannah’s Historic District, Colonial Park Cemetery is more than just a final resting place—it’s a hauntingly beautiful relic of Georgia’s colonial past. Dating back to 1750, this cemetery holds the remains of Revolutionary War heroes, politicians, plague victims, and tales whispered through the moss-draped oaks.
3
A beloved local diner with a timeless vibe, Clary’s Café has been serving up classic Southern breakfasts and hometown hospitality for decades. But beyond the biscuits and coffee, it gained international fame thanks to Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil.
4
A dive bar with deep roots, The Original Pinkie Masters is one of Savannah’s most storied watering holes—where locals, politicians, and eccentrics have gathered for decades over cheap drinks and bold conversation. Known for its unpretentious charm and vintage jukebox, it’s more than just a bar—it’s a local institution.
5
Standing in stately elegance on Monterey Square, the Mercer-Williams House is one of Savannah’s most iconic landmarks—known as much for its stunning architecture as for the scandal that made it famous. This 19th-century mansion became the epicenter of Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil, the true crime story that captivated readers and moviegoers alike.
