#VisitTybee | 35 > Begin your adventure on River Street by checking out the famous Savannah Bee Company. Next, discover the shops and galleries of the JW Marriott Savannah Plant Riverside District. Don't miss the dinosaur and other prehistoric artifacts inside! Then head up to the Myrtle & Rose Rooftop Garden for some shareable bites, botanically inspired cocktails and stunning views of Savannah. > Head toward the gold dome of City Hall. For lunch, try the to-die-for fried green tomato muffuletta at Huey's Restaurant. Finish with a praline from Savannah's Candy Kitchen before braving the historic stairs up to Bay Street. You can also opt to take the elevator next to the Hyatt Regency Savannah. For a break from the sun and sand, venture 20 minutes to the mainland of Savannah. With beautiful architecture, ornate landscaping, rich history and abundant culture, the best way to see Savannah is on foot! Start at River Street and take a stroll down Bull Street, the center of Savannah's Historic District. > Stop in for a cocktail and a ghost story at the classic British pub Churchill's before enjoying the canopy of live oak trees and Spanish moss in Johnson Square, the oldest and largest square in Savannah. > Head down Bull Street toward Broughton Street for some of the best shopping in the city. Check out local favorites like Capital Bee Company, Leopold's Ice Cream, Harper Boutique and many national brands you already know and love. > Continue to Wright Square. Visit Tomochichi's Grave and read about the instrumental role this Yamacraw chief played in helping General James Edward Oglethorpe establish Savannah. HAVE ONLY A COUPLE OF HOURS? See the sights from an Old Savannah Tours trolley. Learn some general history and interesting tidbits from educated and entertaining tour guides and the occasional Savannah character — one of whom thinks life is like a box of chocolates! These 90-minute hop-on, hop-off tours allow you to get off the trolley at any or all of the 14 stops and explore at your leisure, then hop back on. Trolleys arrive at each stop every 15 minutes. Pets and service animals are welcome, and locals ride free with a visitor. J E R E M I A H H U L L / F O R S A V A N N A H M A G A Z I N E SEE SAVANNAH VIEW FROM ATOP THE THOMPSON SAVANNAH
