Planning a trip for parents, recs?
My parents are in their 60s. They got married on St. Patrick’s day and they’ve always wanted to go down to Savannah for St. Paddy’s weekend. They are from Chicago so they’re familiar with how it goes. I want to gift them a trip for their next anniversary but figured I could start thinking about it to gather recommendations and make it a really great time for them.
They like to drink, go out to eat, outdoors, history, architecture, museums.
Where should I book a place to stay? The historic district looks awesome, just wondering what it’s like during St. Paddy’s weekend. They’d probably want somewhere away from the craziness to go back to but also not far from parks or water.
If the historic district isn’t the place to be for St. Paddy’s weekend, what is public transportation like? Should I make sure they have a car?
Bar/restaurant recommendations? They love relaxed, cheap divey kind of places where you can talk to locals.
Must see/do things for the week leading up to the weekend on a normal day in Savannah?
What is St. Paddy’s weekend usually like? For example, we usually go see the green river in Chicago. What does Savannah do traditionally?
Would love to highlight areas for them to walk through with nice architecture, places to stop, more neighborhood-y.
Thanks!!!
