WHAT TO DO ON A RAINY DAY

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.
