1. Savannah Historic District

Savannah's picturesque historic district brings the traditional southern atmosphere to life.
Reviewed By mmwinters
The Savannah historic district will thrill those who love American history, especially colonial or civil war times; African American history; art and architecture; seafood or southern foods; trees and landscaping; fountains and sculptures. Several convenient modes of travel will help you get around - trolleys, horse-drawn carriages, Uber type services, and the free DOT bus system. Parking for cars is limited. I think it would be difficult to try to see things with your personal car. Be sure to wear a good pair of walking shoes and stay hydrated. It’s hard to recommend the “best” things to see and do. As a history lover, I wanted to see it ALL and hope to return someday to see the places I couldn’t get worked in. I think Savannah, budding and blooming in the spring, would be the most beautiful time to tour. August is very hot and humid, but bearable because the the sites are just so darned interesting and the beach is nearby!

3. Fort Pulaski National Monument
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 2,585 reviews
Fort Pulaski National Monument has one of the best preserved nineteenth century masonry fortifications in the United States. It was also the site of a major artillery duel during the Civil War that saw the first major use of rifled artillery in battle. You can tour the fortress, see living historians bringing the past to life, or watch an artillery demonstration that really immerses visitors with the sights and sounds of conflict. The monument however, is more than just a fort. We have over 5000 acres of pristine saltwater marsh, one of the largest concentrations of marsh along the coast of Georgia. Combine that with miles of trails and you have a great way to get away from our cultural history and surround yourself with the natural beauty of Cockspur Island, the heart of the monument.

We bought annual family pass to this park a few years ago and have renewed it every year. Fort is interesting place to visit, especially on holidays when they have cannon firing and ‘soldiers’ parading in 19th century uniforms. These days though, since we went inside the fort quite a few times, most of our visits are to walk the trails, have a picnic in one of the large picnic areas, or run with our dog on the beach. Unlike any other beach in Savannah area this one allows dogs at any time on any day of the year. It used to allow dogs without leash on the beach, but now they are supposed to be leashed due to some complaints. Beach is usually empty though and then we use one of our invisible leashes????.

This old area of the city includes a pedestrian promenade with a collection of interesting shops, restaurants and stores.

This is such a fun area filled with restaurants, bars, shops, and good outdoor seating to simply people watch! The Savannah Slow Rides ride down the streets bordering the market area, and it is really fun to watch the groups peddling by. There are a variety of restaurants and bars, so everyone should find something that they like with no problem at all.
