Weekend in Savannah
Savannah is a lovely city, a great place for romantics and history buffs. Savannah is the oldest and most well preserved city in Georgia USA. It has 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, relaxation, and something different. To accomodate its guests, the city has many Savannah 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 is part of the 1,400 historically and architecturally important structures that make Savannah one of America’s largest 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 will 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’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 fun little place will whet your appetite for all things southern, and the pier and pavilion make for 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.
