Embarking on a journey to Savannah doesn't have to deplete your savings, thanks to AAA Trip Canvas. We’ve curated an itinerary that ensures you experience the best of this historic city without breaking the bank.

The Pirates’ House

Our first stop is The Pirates’ House, an icon since 1794, originally serving as a haven for sailors and buccaneers. Today, it has been transformed into a themed restaurant, rich with a seafaring legacy that permeates every corner. Here’s a bonus tip: Members can book the Savannah Ghost Trolley Tour through AAA, and in addition to the tickets, you’ll enjoy a delightful dinner at The Pirates’ House as part of your experience.

The Beach Institute African American Cultural Center

Next on our list is The Beach Institute African American Cultural Center, founded in 1867 as the first African American school in Savannah. Today, it stands as a vibrant center celebrating Black history and art, hosting an array of public programs designed to enrich the community and promote cultural understanding.

Chippewa Square

With a box of chocolates in hand, we found ourselves sitting in the renowned Chippewa Square. Film enthusiasts might recognize this spot from iconic scenes in Forrest Gump. If you’re keeping track of your budget but still want to see more historic sites, consider booking the Historic District Walking Tour through AAA. If you've indulged in too many chocolates, running through the square might be a good idea!
