Locked into a busy day? Here's the play.

–9am

Own the morning.The day-trip wave lands mid-morning; the headline sights before nine are effectively yours.

10–5

Go where the day-trippers don't.Away from the headline sights it stays manageable all day. Save the marquee ones.

5pm+

Take the city back.Day-trippers leave by early evening — the same squares empty out and the light is better.

Need flexibility? The 1st–16th is the month's calmest stretch — the easiest window to move around in.
On the busy days, the walk-up queues for the big sights are the biggest time-sink — a timed-entry ticket skips them, which is where a busy month is won or lost.

Savannah gets rain on about 10 days in March, so the odds of being caught out are real. What earns its bag space is a shell that packs to nothing, dries fast and has a hood that survives wind; a heavy waterproof is overkill and an umbrella is one more thing to carry through crowds.
