Attractions and tips

One of the oldest cities in the US, Savannah's Historic District with its many gorgeous stately homes is a true joy to walk around any time of year. Enjoy one of the many professional walking tours through this area or just wander around on your own; you'll have a lovely time strolling under the trees lining the old avenues. For some monumental architecture, visit the Cathedral of St. John the Baptist, Georgia's oldest Catholic Church and a gorgeous piece of architecture. The Pin Point Heritage Museum will take you through the region's history with some tasteful exhibitions, leaving you wiser when you leave.

Savannah is a very hot and humid city, so visitors are advised to dress very lightly. Savannah has a variety of neighborhoods in which to stay popular with its visitors. The Historic District downtown is hands-down the most desired place to stay. You can also book your accommodations by the Savannah River or, for more affordable options, in the outskirts of town.
