What Should We Do for a Girl’s Weekend in Savannah, Georgia? (2026 Edition)
Savannah is the ultimate “Hostess City,” and by 2026, she’s mastered the art of the sophisticated getaway. Whether you’re celebrating a bachelorette, a milestone birthday, or just a long-overdue reunion with your favorite ladies, Savannah offers a dreamy blend of historic romance and modern chic.
Expect cobblestone streets, Spanish moss, and a world-class culinary scene that rewards the curious. Oh, and don’t forget the best part: Savannah’s open-container law means you can explore the squares with a premium cocktail in hand. Here is your curated Friday-to-Sunday itinerary for the perfect girls’ weekend.
Friday: Palates, Provisions, and Party Vibes
Morning: Taste the City Early
The most efficient (and delicious) way to get your bearings is with a Savannah Taste Experience Food Tour. By starting here, you get a curated “best of” the city’s culinary landscape. Their guides share fascinating history while you hop between hidden gems, giving you the confidence to navigate the city’s restaurant scene like a local for the rest of the weekend.
Afternoon: Parisian Vibes and Natural Wine
After your tour, head to The Paris Market on Broughton Street. It’s an incredible multi-level boutique that feels like a treasure hunt through a French flea market—perfect for 30-somethings looking for unique jewelry or home decor. Next, lean into the “Savannah state of mind” at Late Air, a contemporary natural wine bar. It’s the perfect spot to sample refined, small-batch bottles in a bright, modern space that feels worlds away from the traditional dark pubs.
Evening: Rooftops and Rhythm
For dinner, catch the sunset at one of Savannah’s premier rooftops like Myrtle and Rose or Electric Moon for river views or The Perch for a secluded, leafy atmosphere. Afterward, keep the energy high at Honky Tonk South for live music and line dancing—because even sophisticated ladies need a little country fun.
Saturday: Asanas, Aesthetics, and Artillery
Morning: Movement and Modern Bites
Relax and start the day with a class at Savannah Yoga Center, then refuel at Foxy Loxy Cafe. Their coffee and atmosphere are legendary, and their courtyard is the ideal place to plot your shopping strategy. Wander through the Design District near Jones Street, making sure to stop at One Fish, Two Fish and Asher and Rye for curated Southern finds.
Lunch: The Forsyth Picnic
Skip the sit-down lunch and grab elevated picnic provisions from (where else?) Provisions Savannah. Take your haul to Forsyth Park, find a spot under the oaks, and enjoy the city’s most iconic views. This giant park in the center of downtown is the heartbeat of Savannah. After lunch, wander up Bull Street to peek into the high-end antique shops and boutiques like Satchel for bespoke leather goods.
Night: Gilded Dinners and High-End Hits
Dinner at The Old Pink House is non-negotiable for a girls’ trip—the Southern cuisine is as stunning as the 18th-century architecture. Full disclosure–you’ll need to secure a reservation well in advance. Don’t have a reservation? Try the Planter’s Tavern downstairs for first-come, first-serve dining with the same famous menu options.
For a nightcap, head to Artillery. This is Savannah’s most beautiful bar, offering a sophisticated cocktail menu in a space that was once an armory. Wrap up the night with a show at District Live, the city’s premier venue for high-energy live music and national touring acts.
Sunday: Self-Care and Sunday Funday
Morning: Luxury at the Spa Bleu
Start your Sunday with a moment of zen. Book a treatment at Spa Bleu on Bull St. It’s the height of Savannah luxury, offering a serene escape that will leave your group feeling refreshed and ready for brunch. Perk–this is an independent, locally owned spa, so your relaxation also supports a local business!
Afternoon: The Ultimate Brunch
Walk over to The Collins Quarter for a brunch that is as photogenic as it is tasty. Their Spiced Lavender Mocha and Swine Time Benedict are crowd favorites. Plus, with updated local laws, you can enjoy your mimosa earlier than in years past! Afterward, soak up some culture at the Telfair Museums, which includes the stunning Jepson Center for contemporary art.
Evening: A Sophisticated Send-off
For your final meal, enjoy the Parisian bistro vibes of Circa 1875. End your trip on a high note at 208 Wine Bar above Factor’s Walk. It’s the perfect spot to toast to the weekend with a massive wine list and a view of the river. If you still have energy, head to McDonough’s for their famous Sunday night karaoke—the ultimate Savannah tradition to close out your stay.

Still have questions? Maybe these will help:
1. Why is a food tour recommended as the first activity on our Savannah trip?
Starting your weekend with a Savannah Taste Experience Food Tour is the ultimate “insider move.” Beyond just filling your belly, it gives your group a curated “best of” overview of the city’s culinary landscape and history. By the time you finish, you’ll have the confidence to navigate the Historic District like a local and a list of expert recommendations to use for the rest of your trip.
2. What should we do if we can’t get a dinner reservation at The Old Pink House?
The Old Pink House is one of the most sought-after tables in the South, often booking up months in advance. If you missed the reservation window, don’t panic! Head downstairs to Planter’s Tavern. It offers a cozy, candlelit atmosphere with the same famous menu on a first-come, first-served basis. It’s a moody, sophisticated alternative that many locals actually prefer.
Prefer another restaurant? 22SQ and The Fitzroy usually have reservations and both have fantastic menus!
3. How do we pull off the “perfect” Forsyth Park picnic mentioned in the blog?
To keep it stress-free, head to Provisions Savannah to pick up a curated selection of natural wines, artisanal cheeses, and elevated snacks. From there, it’s a short walk to Forsyth Park. Pro tip: Aim for a spot near the fountain for the best people-watching and group photos, but if you want a quieter vibe, head to the southern end of the park under the larger oak groves.
4. What makes Savannah’s “Open Container” law unique for our group?
Savannah’s legendary open-container law allows you to carry one alcoholic beverage (up to 16 ounces in a clear plastic disposable cup) in public within the Historic District. This means you can grab a refined glass of wine at 208 Wine Bar or a cocktail at Artillery and continue your stroll through the squares without having to chug your drink before leaving!
5. We want to support local—how does this itinerary help with that?
While Savannah has seen a lot of growth, this guide prioritizes the “soul” of the city. By choosing Spa Bleu for your Sunday zen, you’re supporting a locally owned, independent business. Similarly, spots like Savannah Taste Experience, Asher and Rye, Collins Quarter, and Satchel are all locally owned, ensuring your vacation spend stays within the Savannah community.
Expert Guide Tip:
Savannah is a city that rewards those who slow down. While this itinerary is packed with highlights, which of these experiences—the high-energy live music at District Live or the quiet, Parisian charm of Circa 1875—best fits the current “vibe” of your girl group?
