Established in 1733, Savannah is the oldest city in Georgia as well as an important Atlantic seaport and a modern industrial city.

However, what everyone remembers about Savannah are the magnificent antebellum mansions in the city’s several historic districts, the cobblestoned streets, and the parks shaded by ancient oak trees dripping with Spanish moss.

Savannah is full of history and old charm and is best explored on foot or in one of the picturesque horse-drawn carriages.

Its historic downtown is full of well-preserved 18th and 19th century homes, lush gardens, and elegant squares with cool fountains.

Take a rest in Forsyth Park, visit magnificent the Gothic revival Saint John the Baptist cathedral, visit Telfair Academy, the oldest art museum in the South, stroll through the city’s old cemeteries, and take a tour of one of many house museums.
