Home to one of the nation's largest urban National Historic Landmark Districts, Savannah is located deep in the Sun Belt, where spring flows in around February and is followed shortly thereafter by an explosion of color as azaleas bloom in abundance by mid-March. Savannah is unique. A true Old World city, retaining Oglethorpe's original design. Olgethorpe's city plan, where each square was an area of fortification as well as a place for public gathering, has been heralded as a masterpiece of urban design. Beautiful homes surround these lovely squares, replete with gardens and courtyards.
Traffic is slow and touring is done by foot, pedicab, horse drawn carriage, and trolley.
Integral to historic Savannah are its historic bed and breakfast inns. They represent the core of the historic district and offer a glimpse of life in Old Savannah. Not only will you encounter Southern Hospitality at its best, but you discover the singular flavor of what life in the past was like. Each is unique but each retains the elegance of this historic city. Each historic inn has its own personality.
