The Best Cities to Visit

1. Savannah

The city of Savannah has been listed as one of the most romantic destinations, one of the most beautiful historic destinations, and a cool place to visit too. It features stunning architecture, Spanish moss-draped streets and squares, a quaint cobblestoned riverfront walk, craft breweries, tasty local cuisine, and dark and haunted history. The city’s center is reportedly one of the nation’s National Historic Landmark districts.  

Indeed, the elegant old homes were once paid for via rice and cotton farming. Take a “hop-on, hop-off trolley tour” and learn all about the city’s complex past. Highlights here include the famous Forsyth Fountain in Forsyth Park and scenic River Street. Finally, dine on some Southern staples– collard greens, fried chicken, and fried green tomatoes–at The Olde Pink House.

Augusta is also steeped in history, and full of culture, an awesome assortment of eateries, and numerous exceptional attractions including galleries, parks, and museums. Stroll the Augusta Riverwalk by the Savannah River. See 10 stunning statues on the attractive Augusta Sculpture Trail.

See the 19th-century aqueduct, complete with rock arches and a waterfall, at the Aqueduct Park. Visit the impressive Morris Museum of Art. It was the first American museum to concentrate on the culture and art history of the American South. It features over 5,000 pieces from the 19th century to the present day. Are you a fan of flowers? Visit in the spring and see the azaleas and more in full bloom.
