10Best's Savannah Attractions & Activities

It could almost be said that Savannah's best sights and activities are the city itself, or at least its historic district. Impressive architecture, including 18th- and 19th-century streets and structures, give it endless appeal, especially in these latter days where everything seems to be disposable. The solidity of cobblestone streets, the longevity of cotton warehouses, and the eternal presence of the river give Savannah an almost eternal presence. And the beauty of mature trees, lush plantings, and comfortable climes make the coastal getaway even more attractive. Take the opportunity to explore all of these features, from Bonaventure Cemetery to the Mercer Williams House Museum. Marvel at the tenacity of Tybee Island Light Station, which has kept a seaward watch for hundreds of years, and try to imagine the glory of the original estate at Wormsloe Historic Site. Even places as familiar as Forsyth Park and the City Market bear a moment of admiration for their ability to make the city as beautiful and engaging as it remains today. And certainly, take advantage of Savannah's many, many tours, which recount prior glories and past tragedies. Some of them, it seems, were apparently so traumatic that the spirits associated with them became inextricably tied to the physical world, a point that many guides delightedly share with visitors, piquing their curiosity, chilling their bones.
