Begin your trip by exploring the historic city of Savannah. Take a stroll down cobblestone streets, see the city's beautiful squares, and check out some of the city's famous landmarks including the Cathedral of St. John the Baptist. For lunch, stop by the The Olde Pink House, a historic mansion turned restaurant, to experience the best of southern cuisine. End your day at The Wormhole, a retro-themed bar and music venue that is a favorite among the locals.
Get out of the city and head towards the Blue Ridge Mountains. Stop by the Tallulah Gorge State Park and hike down to the gorge floor to see the rushing waterfalls. If you're feeling adventurous, check out the suspension bridge that spans 80 feet above the gorge floor. For lunch, head over to The Red Barn Café for southern cooking with fantastic mountain views. End your day at The Dillard House Stables, where you can take a horseback ride through the beautiful mountain scenery.
Start your morning with a visit down to the infamous Georgia Aquarium, home to tens of thousands of animals swimming in over 10 million gallons of water. After that, check out The World of Coca-Cola, dedicated to the history and culture of the world-renowned soda. For lunch, head over to Busy Bee Cafe, a historic restaurant that serves up soul food staples like fried chicken and sweet potato pie. Finish up your day at Centennial Olympic Park where you can relax in a green space and reflect on an action-packed weekend.
If you have more time, consider adding a visit to the Savannah Historic District to see beautiful mansions from the antebellum era or head over to Jekyll Island for a beach day and the chance to see the famous Driftwood Beach. Alternatively, if you have a little less time check out Piedmont Park in Atlanta, one of the city's largest parks, or Stone Mountain Park, a mountain outside of Atlanta that boasts a cable car ride and historic reenactments.
