About Savannah Historic District

Savannah’s Historic District is one of the oldest and most beautiful places in the southern United States. Located in Georgia, this area feels like stepping into a storybook. With well-preserved buildings from the 18th and 19th centuries, large oak trees draped in Spanish moss, and cobblestone streets, it’s no surprise this is the most visited part of the city.


The district spans over 2.5 square miles and includes more than 20 scenic squares, historic homes, churches, museums, and monuments. You’ll also find cozy cafes, antique shops, and art galleries, all surrounded by architecture that tells stories of the past. That’s why many United States Tour Packages include this charming area as a highlight of any trip through the state.


Whether you’re a history buff, a romantic traveler, or just someone looking for a peaceful and photogenic walk, Savannah’s Historic District offers something unique.
