Savannah Overview

By Travel Expert: Candyce H. Stapen

Savannah is a city made for strolling, with atmospheric streets lined by ancient oaks draped in Spanish moss and park-like squares adorned with fountains. First settled in 1733, the city's 2.5-square-mile historic area exudes Southern charm; to avoid historic-tour over-saturation with the kids, intersperse the exploration of the houses with outdoor rambles. (Be warned, though, that summer brings hot, humid conditions so pack plenty of water, hats, and sunscreen, and don't overexert already tired little legs.)
