“Savannah is one of
the ten most beautiful places in America.” – USA Today
“Savannah – The Most Beautiful City in North America.” – Paris newspaper LeMonde “One of the Top Ten Cities to Visit.” – Conde Nast Traveler  Savannah is a city rich in history, Southern charm and old-fashioned hospitality. Savannah's distinctive city plan was designed in 1733 by General James E. Oglethorpe, the founder of the colony of Georgia. Oglethorpes's design plan was based on a grid system of 24 square areas known as wards. Each ward featured an open park like space at the center that was surrounded by equal sized lots for private homes and four larger lots for public buildings. Today, 21 of the original 24 squares still exist, boasting some of the finest examples of architecture in America. Over 1,600 restored structures are rated as historically and architecturally significant in a variety of styles including Federal, Georgian, Gothic Revival, Greek Revival, Italianate, Regency, Victorian, Colonial and more.   The Historic District
of Savannah, encompassing an area of 2.5 square
miles, is the largest registered urban National Historic Landmark
district in the United States.
Savannah offers world-class restaurants, Civil War forts, dozens of art galleries, fine antique shops, and much more.      More images of Savannah - click here
