Local Attractions

Cathedral Basilica of St. John the Baptist

Historical landmark
The Cathedral Basilica of St. John the Baptist is an iconic landmark of Savannah, Georgia. It is an excellent example of French Gothic architecture. Elegantly restored, the church is regularly called "breathtaking" and "amazing"! TripAdvisor rated us #6 on its list of Top 10 US Attractions.

Forsyth Park

Historical landmark
Spanning more than 30 acres, Forsyth Park is Savannah’s largest and oldest public park. The land for the park was donated by William Brown Hodgson in the 1840s, and named for illustrious statesman and thirty-third Georgia governor John Forsyth, who also represented Georgia in both the House of Representatives and the Senate, as well as serving as Secretary of State under Presidents Andrew Jackson and Martin Van Buren. The park’s iconic fountain was installed in 1858 and is today one of the most-photographed places in Savannah. Although the fountain has become a symbol of Savannah, it isn’t unique: similar fountains can be found in Paris and Cusco, Pero (it was actually ordered from a catalog!).

River Street

Historical landmark
Savannah’s iconic River Street is a popular hub for locals and visitors alike. Located along the Savannah River, this historic cobblestone-lined street is home to more than 75 boutiques, galleries, artists’ studios, restaurants and pubs, all of which are housed in one-time cotton warehouses.

Savannah Historic District

Historical landmark
Savannah is a destination to walk and explore. It is the nation's largest historic landmark district covering 2 square miles.
