We ended up spending almost all our time in the historic district. We stayed there by Oglethorpe Square and ate in the district everynight. We had planned many day trips but could only tear ourselves away once for Tybee Island (Also worth it!). WE loved the atmosphere of the district and all the beautiful architecture. We went during the historic... more

One cannot describe the beauty of the Historic District in Savannah. You simply have to see it and be a part of it. Take a quick tour on foot your first day to familiarize yourself with the area. Then take a trolley tour, as this will help you figure out where everything is you didn't see and refresh you on... more

If a person would have time to do only one thing while in Savannah, seeing the historical district would be the thing to do. Matter of fact, the best and quickest way to do that is on the Old Town Trolley Tour.

River Street offers great shopping opportunities ( Check out True Grits ,especially if you... more

Some squares are more manicured and beautiful than others, but a stroll through all of them is worth the time. We covered all... more

Truly enjoyed my walk around the Savannah Historic District. The squares are gorgous with the live oak trees and spanish moss. If I had enough money to buy one of the homes on a square I would! The homes are beautiful....not much actual "yard space" but many have gardens to the side or back that are a park in their... more

Go on a walking Tour of the historic district on your 1st full day. This is a lovely city to walk (stroll). The squares invite you to sit. If you want excitement & night life hit The River. Shopping is at the River also. Shops stock was run of the mill. I think a Ghost Tour is a must. Listen... more
