Detailed itinerary
1
Stop 1
Start your walk at Forsyth Park — just open Ciceru nearby to begin exploring Savannah’s grandest front porch, where fountains gossip under oak canopies.
2
Stand outside the townhouse where strangers still become family over fried chicken and twelve forms of carbohydrate diplomacy.
3
Admire the twin spires that survived fire and vanity alike — Savannah’s Gothic encore with Southern manners.
4
Stop 4
Linger by the headstones rearranged by bored Union soldiers — history’s darkest sense of humor carved in marble.
5
Stop 5
Pass by
Look upon elegance and injustice sharing a roof — Regency grace shadowed by lye-washed bricks.
6
Pause for a cone of nostalgia first scooped in 1919 — proof that time travel occasionally tastes like Tutti Frutti.
7
Stop 7
Wander the cobbles where livestock once brayed and now buskers improvise capitalism in G major.
8
Stop 8
Pass by
Stand before a sanctuary built by enslaved hands — faith encoded in wood, air holes, and unspoken defiance.
9

Wrap up your tour along River Street. Take a moment to watch container ships glide by — ghosts and taffy sharing the same tide.
