Savannah Travel Guide: Reviews, photos, & videos
If you were to ask a local Georgian where to find the cool, hip and even edgy part of their home state, at least 90% of them would list Savannah first. Settled by British colonists James Oglethorpe and William Bull in 1733, Savannah was actually spared by General Sherman’s March of destruction during the Civil War, thus making it one of the few Southern cities that still have the majority of its antebellum architecture and overall charm intact. With a historic vibe, a thriving local arts scene and the presence of the University of Georgia and the Savannah College of Art and Design, Savannah is a fun, fast paced and occasionally funky southern town with plenty of unique attractions and quirky people to boot. And with a gorgeous and green landscape replete with stunning scenery and history, the Savannah real estate is always coveted and admired. While the antebellum homes might not be for sale, there are still plenty of stunning vacation homes in Savannah and Savannah condos on the market for the interested buyer.
And once you’ve found that perfect lodging, make sure to hit up the pristine City Market. Located in the northwest corner of Savannah’s vast Historic District, City Market is the destination for retailing, entertainment and dining in the downtown Savannah region. For those who consider themselves fans of the Savannah set book and film (starring John Cusack) "Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil," a visit to Forsythe Park and the hauntingly beautiful, Spanish moss covered Bonaventure Cemetery will provide some stunning and occasionally spooky scenery that was featured prominently in the book and movie. And for those who find themselves enjoying the pristine spring weather in Savannah, make sure to check out the famous Sidewalk Arts Festival. Held in Forsyth Park, this unique gathering of artists and patrons showcases temporary chalk masterpieces that bring the sidewalks of this historic park into a whole new light.
