Old charm meets renewed energy in this historic Southern city.
Old meets new in this genteel Southern city — from colonial-era cemeteries and candlelit ghost tours to trendy boutiques and a revitalized riverfront district. Shop for antiques and vintage fashion, enjoy a family-style Southern feast and spend some time exploring the city’s rich background. With its cobblestone streets, shady live oaks and beautiful 18th- and 19th- century residences, Savannah, Georgia’s historic district is the largest (and perhaps loveliest) in the nation. P.S. Pack your walking shoes. You’ll need them.
