Savannah is a lovely city, a great place for romantics and history enthusiasts. Savannah is the oldest and most well preserved city in Georgia. It has a long history of Southern charm and hospitality. Its a town of cobble stone roads and elegant mansions with gardens of camellias, azaleas, and roses beneath oak trees draped in Spanish moss. Savannah is a perfect vacation destination for anyone in search of history, warm weather, fun, and something very different. To accomodate its guests, the city has many Savannah Ga Bed and breakfast hotels to choose from.

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

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 live entertainment, dancing and even 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 out one of the Ghost Tours or Haunted tours given each evening.

If you’d like to enjoy the beach, Tybee Island can make for a great day trip. Take a trolley ride, bus, or car ride and spend a few hours basking in the sun. 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 Georgia bed and breakfast or one of the many Savannah Motels.
