Getting Around in Savannah

Savannah Trolley Tour

Savannah is very much a pedestrian city, and if you stay in the Historic District, you do not need a car. Most hotels and B&Bs have parking arrangements, but there may be an additional charge to park a car.

Catch a Cat: www.catchacat.org
There is a free shuttle in Savannah's Historic District. And there is also a free ferry between the riverfront and Hutchinson Island near the Westin.

Several taxi services operate in the Historic District. We found this very economical for evening travel between the Mansion at Forsyth Park and the Historic District.
