The Perfect Bachelorette Weekend in Savannah, Georgia

I'm just going to say it: I live in Nashville which is known as the bachelorette capital of the U.S., but Savannah might be one of the best cities in the South for a bachelorette weekend. It’s beautiful, walkable, a little mysterious, and filled with incredible food, historic buildings, and the kind of atmosphere that makes a weekend feel special from the moment you arrive.

If you’re planning a long bachelorette weekend in Savannah (something like a Thursday-Sunday), this itinerary has great meals, historic sights, a little nightlife, and plenty of time to simply enjoy the city.

Thursday: Arrive, Explore, and Toast the Weekend

Most bachelorette weekends start the same way: the group slowly arrives from different cities, bags get dropped at the hotel or Airbnb, and the excitement starts to build.

Plan to arrive around Thursday at noon and head straight to lunch at Collins Quarter (the one on Bull Street). This Australian-inspired café has become one of the most loved brunch and lunch spots in downtown Savannah. The space feels bright and welcoming, and the menu leans into fresh, creative dishes and excellent coffee.

After lunch, take some time to wander through the nearby historic squares. Savannah’s historic district is built around a grid of leafy squares, each with its own statues, fountains, and shady benches. Walking through them is one of the easiest ways to get a feel for the city. It’s also the perfect chance for those first “girls trip” photos. As you're walking around, you can head into shops, art galleries and more.

That evening, get ready for dinner at The Olde Pink House, one of the most iconic restaurants in Savannah. Arrive early enough to take a few photos outside the house before your reservation. The building dates back to the late 1700s and is one of the most photographed homes in the city. Its distinctive pink color actually came from brick bleeding through the original stucco over time, and eventually the owners simply embraced it.

Inside, the dining rooms feel intimate and historic, with candlelight, fireplaces, and creaking wooden floors that remind you just how old the building is.

After dinner, lean into Savannah’s mysterious side with a ghost tour led by Enoch’s Edenfield. Savannah is widely known as one of the most haunted cities in America, and these tours take you through historic streets and cemeteries while sharing stories that blend local folklore with real history.

Once the tour wraps up, end the evening with a nightcap at The Artillery, a glamorous cocktail bar located inside a former armory building. The interior feels moody and sophisticated, and it’s the perfect place to toast the beginning of the weekend!

Friday: Shopping, History, and an Incredible Dinner

Savannah mornings are meant to be slow, so sleep in a little before heading out for brunch at Sunday Sunday. It’s a relaxed, cheerful spot that’s perfect for gathering the group and starting the day.

From there, spend the late morning shopping along Broughton Street, Savannah’s main retail corridor. The historic buildings house boutiques, bookstores, and gift shops, making it a fun area to wander for a few hours.

Afterward, walk down to River Street for a quick taste of Savannah’s waterfront. The cobblestone street runs along the Savannah River and is filled with shops and restaurants. It’s definitely more touristy than the rest of the city, but it’s worth visiting for a little while.

While you’re there, grab a frozen cocktail to go from Wet Willie’s, that will always adds a little fun to the afternoon.

Later in the afternoon, head over to Bonaventure Cemetery for a guided tour. Be sure to book this ahead of time, as tours can fill quickly. Bonaventure is one of the most beautiful cemeteries in the country, filled with moss-draped trees, historic monuments, and fascinating stories about Savannah’s past.

After the tour, head back to your Airbnb or hotel to rest for a bit and freshen up before dinner.

That evening, make reservations at The Grey and splurge on the chef’s tasting menu. The restaurant is located inside a beautifully restored 1930s Greyhound bus terminal, and the design still reflects the building’s Art Deco origins.

Chef Mashama Bailey’s food has earned national recognition, and the tasting menu is an experience you'll be talking about for a long time to come.

Saturday: Markets, History, and the Marsh

Saturday morning begins at Forsyth Park, where Savannah hosts one of the best farmers markets in the region every weekend.

Grab a to-go mimosa or iced coffee from the Collins Quarter local located in the park before wandering through the market. Local artists and Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD) students sell paintings and crafts, vendors offer fresh baked goods which are the perfect makeshift breakfast, and you might even find someone offering tarot or fortune readings.

After exploring the market, walk over to the Mercer-Williams House, one of the most famous homes in Savannah. The house gained national attention through the book Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil, but its history goes far beyond that story. The Italianate mansion is filled with art and antiques, and the guided tour offers a fascinating glimpse into Savannah’s layered past. In fact, the home was designed by New York architect, John S. Norris for General Hugh W. Mercer, who was the great grandfather of Johnny Mercer, a celebrated song writer and co-founder of Capitol Records.

Next, drive out to Wormsloe Historic Site, where one of the most photographed avenues in the South awaits. A long driveway lined with hundreds of live oak trees leads to the ruins of Georgia’s colonial-era Wormsloe plantation.

The site tells a complex story about Georgia’s early coastal history. While it began as a colonial settlement, the land later became tied to the plantation economy and the difficult history of slavery in the region. Today the site works to tell that full story while preserving the landscape and educating visitors about the people who lived and worked there.

Once you’ve explored Wormsloe, head to The Wyld for a late lunch. This relaxed dockside restaurant sits right on the marsh, where boats can pull up and diners sit outside enjoying seafood and cocktails with a breeze coming off the water.

After lunch, return to the city and stop by SCADstory, an interactive museum that tells the story of the Savannah College of Art and Design. SCAD has played a huge role in restoring Savannah’s historic buildings and transforming the city into the creative hub it is today.

For dinner that evening, gather the group for a relaxed “girl dinner” at Ardsley Station, a neighborhood restaurant known for great cocktails and a lively atmosphere.

Before dinner, take a quick drive through Ardsley Park, one of Savannah’s most beautiful residential neighborhoods. The tree-lined streets and stately homes give you a glimpse into a different side of Savannah life.

Sunday: One Last Savannah Adventure

Before everyone heads home, plan one final experience.

Book a bachelorette brunch Joyride boat tour, which offers a beautiful view of Savannah from the water. Seeing the city skyline, marshland, and riverfront from the boat gives you a completely different perspective on the area.

If you’ve already checked out of your Airbnb or hotel, bring body wipes or a quick freshen-up kit before heading to breakfast. Even better, see if you can request a late checkout ahead of time so you can return and get ready after the boat ride.

For your final stop, head to Foxy Loxy Café for one last coffee together. Gather everyone around the table, take one last group photo, and toast to an incredible girls weekend in Savannah before everyone heads back home.
