Weekend in Savannah

Savannah is a pretty city, a great place for romantics and history fans. Savannah is the oldest and most tenderly preserved city in Georgia. It has long history of Southern charm and hospitality. Its a town with cobble stone streets and elegant mansions and gardens of camellias, azaleas, and rose bushes beneath trees draped in Spanish moss. Savannah is a perfect vacation destination for anyone in search of history, warm weather, and lots of fun. To accomodate its guests, the city has many Savannah Ga Bed and breakfast hotels to choose from.

To really appreciate its downtown area, enjoy a carriage tour, a ghost tour, or simply walk around. There are dozens of designated points of interest, and you probably won’t have trouble catching stories from the local residents.

The inner city has some 1,400 historically and architecturally important structures that make Savannah one of America’s largest urban historic districts. After a day spent touring the Savannah streets, book a seat on the River Street Riverboat Company’s cruises where you can enjoy entertainment, dancing and thematic dinner cruises. 

Your Savannah vacation agenda should include some of the following attractions: the Savannah National Wildlife Refuge, the Ships of the Maritime Museum, Skidaway Island State Park. You may also like to see the locations of 68 movie sites on a Savannah Movie Tour or try one of the Ghost Tours or Haunted tours led each evening.

If you like to enjoy the beach, Tybee Island makes for a great day trip in the sun. Take a short trolley, bus, or car ride and spend a few hours basking in the sunhine. This is fun little place will whet your appetite for all things southern, the pier and pavilion makes for a great people-watching opportunities. After you’ve had your fill of the beach, it’ll be nice to return to the mainland for an evening of blues or jazz, and you won’t have far to go to return to your Savannah hotel rooms or one of the many Savannah bed and breakfasts.
