Savannah is a very dog-friendly town with many restaurants, shops, and even tours that will welcome furry patrons and their humans. Where to stay with your dog? Two of our inns are pet-friendly: Olde Harbour Inn and East Bay Inn.
1) SELF-GUIDED TOURS: With 22 parks and squares, the historic district is a great place to to walk, and you’ll definitely find lots of “like-minded” dog owners out enjoying the city every day.
2) DOG-FRIENDLY TOURS: Most walking tours are pet-friendly, and we recommend Old Savannah Tours for a trolley tour if your dog prefers to ride. Be sure to check out Oliver Bentley’s Historic Dog Walk Tour that includes a walk-about-bag of gluten-free healthy dog treats for the tour.
3) DOG-FRIENDLY DINING: Savannah’s become quite the town for foodies over the past few years. Combine our love for food with our affection for dogs, and you’ve got a winning combination for pet-friendly restaurants. Of course, dogs aren’t allowed to dine indoors, but that’s what the outdoor tables are for! In fact, any time you see an outdoor table, you can almost guarantee your dog will be welcome.
MUSEUMS AND MORE AWAIT
If you get caught in the rain during your Savannah vacation, we have an itinerary for that too!
Savannah's sultry weather means sometimes even the clouds have to just let it all out. But don't fear, if you find yourself in a Savannah Shower, there are plenty of indoor activities until the sun returns.
A RAINY TIP
Ask your concierge to plan sites near to each other so you can easily explore many spots in an area.
A favorite combo is The Jepson Art Center and Telfair Academy. Then scoot over to Wright Square Cafe for lunch and be sure to visit the galleries and antique stores next door.
And what better excuse for indulging in a day of beauty and a massage? Favorites close-by are Milan Day Spa and SpaBleu.
