Savannah, Georgia has long been recognized as one of traveling America’s favorite walking cities. English Governor, James Oglethorpe, Savannah’s Founding Father planned what today we know as Savannah’s Landmark Historic District along the lines of an Old English Township. Our 2.5 square mile historic district allows visitors easy access to all historic points of interest and scenic attractions. Our Hostess City is fortunate to combine just the right blend of antebellum history, art galleries, bustling seaport, with a generous dose of romance to be recognized as a perennial “top ten vacation destination” in the USA. Stretching from River Street all the way back to Forsyth Park, the leisure traveler will find an abundance of quaint shops, charming boutiques and world-class restaurants nestled beneath a canopy of Spanish Moss draped Live Oak trees. Georgia’s First City also features stunning examples of Federal, Italianate, Georgian and Victorian architecture interspersed around the Historic District’s 22 garden squares, which anchored each ward of General Oglethorpe’s original city plan when he founded Savannah in 1733. There is a reason we southerners are known for our Southern hospitality and the growing number of new visitors joining our repeat visitors from year to year prove we Savannah is as important of a coastal city today as it was three centuries ago. Whether you have flown into the Savannah-Hilton Head International Airport for a weeklong vacation or you have driven down from Atlanta for that long anticipated romantic weekend getaway, Savannah is your go to destination.
