Known for: ARCHITECTURE | SAVANNAH RIVER | JAZZ FESTIVAL

Savannah, the city that provided the idyllic backdrop for the Oscar-winning movie Forrest Gump, is known for embracing its proud past and contemporary comforts in equal measure. This iconic enclave's beating heart is indisputably its Historic District, a charming sprawl of manicured gardens, tree-lined parks, and stately structures dappled with Spanish moss. Tour the cobblestone streets and take in the sights at Forsyth Park, a 30-acre tract known for its large, wildly ornate fountain and winding paths, or stroll the riverfront, where restaurants and shops invite you in to experience unmatched Southern hospitality.

The late summer and fall seasons signify festival time, with events like the Savannah Jazz Festival and Taste of Savannah dotting the calendar. In October, the Savannah Film Festival treats audiences to new movies by both award-winning professionals and emerging filmmakers, while the popular Savannah Harbor Boat Parade of Lights in November celebrates the holidays in glorious style with live music performances, a tree lighting ceremony, and a fireworks extravaganza on the waterfront. With accommodations that range from historic hotels to cozy bed-and-breakfasts, you can expect to enjoy all the comforts of home while you make treasured memories in this welcoming Southern gem.
