Start with Hotel Savings
Hotel is typically the biggest expense of a Savannah trip. Here is how to get the best rate.
Compare rates on Expedia. Expedia aggregates rates from multiple sources and often has deals not available on hotel websites directly. Compare rates for your dates before you book.

Travel in the off-season. January, February, and the summer months (June–August) offer the lowest hotel rates. Summer is hot, but the savings can be significant — sometimes 30–50% lower than peak season rates.
Book weeknights. Weeknight rates (Tuesday–Thursday) are typically 20–40% lower than weekend rates at the same property. If your schedule is flexible, a midweek trip saves money.
Look for hotels with free parking. Parking in the Historic District costs $20–$45 per night at most hotels. A hotel with free parking saves $60–$135 over a three-night stay. Read our parking guide →
Look for hotels with included breakfast. Several Savannah hotels include breakfast in the rate. A free breakfast saves $15–$25 per person per day.
Book early for peak season. Spring and fall are peak season in Savannah. Booking early (3–6 months ahead) gives you access to better rates before prices rise.
Free Things to Do in Savannah
Many of Savannah's best experiences are completely free.
The squares. All 22 public squares are free to visit. A self-guided walk through the squares is one of the best things you can do in Savannah.
Forsyth Park. The 30-acre park with the famous fountain is free. The Saturday farmers market (April–December) is also free to browse.
The Cathedral of St. John the Baptist. Free to visit during daylight hours. The interior is stunning.
