#churches #100waysoftravel #trip Visiting the Cathedral of St. John the Baptist, the oldest Roman Catholic church in Georgia, was a remarkable experience. Its stunning architecture reflects a blend of historical influences that tells the story of the region’s rich cultural heritage. Upon entering, I was captivated by the beautiful stained glass windows and the serene atmosphere. The interior provided a peaceful space for reflection and prayer. I had the opportunity to attend a mass, which was heartfelt and welcoming, fostering a sense of community among the congregants. The surrounding area is also lovely, offering a quiet retreat from the bustling city. Overall, my visit to the Cathedral of St. John the Baptist was deeply enriching, leaving me with a profound appreciation for Georgia's history and its vibrant Catholic community. #catholic #community #holiday #structure #beautiful #building #oldest

The Hilton Garden Inn is around a 5 mins drive from Savannah airport. It's also right off I95 and another 2 mins from an outlet and food options. The city is around 20 mins away by car. The hotel itself is fine. There is a fitness center and small pool. There's a sort of patio area which you can also relax and dine in. There's a lake located right behind the hotel so it was nice to stroll around. The rooms facing towards I95 though are a bit noisy. The rooms are quite spacious and everything worked fine. There was even USB charging available which was an added plus. Breakfast isn't included but was the normal hot breakfast, including eggs, bacon and toast. There was also complimentary coffee throughout the day. The real star was one of the front desk agents, Abigail, who was absolutely warm and welcoming. She made sure that everyone felt welcomed and appreciated and went out of her way to ensure guests had a comfortable stay. #hotel #savannah #usa

Savannah, Georgia, is one of the most beautiful and vintage southern towns in the United States. Here you can find horse-drawn carriages on the streets, oak trees draped with Spanish moss, filming locations from Forrest Gump, and European-style churches. Just a few steps away is a city square park, and you can also take a stroll along the Savannah River. There are ancient plantation ruins and Victorian-style houses here. The summer here can be very hot and humid, so it is recommended to avoid the high-temperature periods for a better experience. My two-day itinerary is arranged as follows: Day 1: Historic District (Chippewa Square, filming location of Forrest Gump / Cathedral Basilica of St. John the Baptist - Forsyth Park - stroll along the Savannah River) Day 2: Wormsloe Historic Site. Historic District + Chippewa Square + Cathedral Basilica of St. John the Baptist: The historic district here preserves traditional architectural styles, including European and Victorian-era 2-3 story cottages that tell the history of America. Some houses are famous for being purchased by celebrities and plantation owners during the American Civil War. Some are old post offices, banks, and others were built by early European settlers. The third picture shows a famous local house, a must-visit for architecture enthusiasts. There are many city square parks here, so you can casually walk around the historic district. If you get tired, you can take a vintage bus. Chippewa Square is the filming location of the famous "Life is like a box of chocolates" scene from Forrest Gump, but the bench from that scene is no longer there. The churches here are also very beautiful. The Cathedral Basilica of St. John the Baptist is one of the more famous Catholic churches, located next to Lafayette Square. The interior of the church is also stunning. Forsyth Park: This is a classic check-in spot and a great place for locals to run and stroll. It features a landmark fountain. Nearby is the Savannah College of Art and Design. Strolling along the Savannah River: River Street has a riverside boardwalk with many shops selling small artworks and souvenirs. You can also sit by the river and enjoy a beer 🍺. It’s very relaxing. There is a cookie shop called Byrd’s here, offering bite-sized cookies, one at a time, with a peach flavor that is especially delicious. Wormsloe Historic Site: This site features nearly 2.4 kilometers of oak trees and Spanish moss (Spanish moss looks like tree hair, so those sensitive to smells should wear a mask). The hundreds of oak trees here are mostly centuries old, planted by the plantation owner in 1890. The descendants of the plantation owner still live in the private estate. The ruins of the original owner’s cabin and other structures are open for visitors.

#springitinerary Forsyth Park is Savannah’s heart and spring makes it bloom in every way. I loved strolling under the live oaks, their moss shimmering in the sun. The famous fountain at the center? Even prettier in person! Tulips and azaleas burst in color all around, and local artists set up their stalls — a lively but chill vibe. Grab a coffee from Collins Quarter nearby and enjoy people-watching. I even caught a free jazz performance! For your #springitinerary, this park gives you history, charm, and photo ops galore. Don’t skip it!

Savannah, located in Georgia, is a historic city known for its well-preserved ancient architecture and shaded squares. Strolling along its cobblestone streets, you can feel the rich Southern ambiance. The vibrant riverside district by the Savannah River is home to numerous cafes and artisan shops. The city's architecture blends British colonial and Victorian styles, creating a captivating atmosphere. Walking through the streets at night, the soft lighting and quiet surroundings evoke a sense of stepping back in time. Local cuisine, featuring seafood and Southern comfort food, is unforgettable. Savannah is a city perfect for slowing down and savoring every moment.

My first visit to Savannah as a foreign student felt like stepping into a postcard. The cobblestone streets, lined with ancient oak trees draped in Spanish moss, carried a quiet charm I had only seen in movies. Walking through Forsyth Park, I marveled at the grand fountain, its water sparkling in the afternoon sun. The scent of fresh pralines lured me into a small candy shop by the river, where I had my first taste of the sweet, buttery treat. As I stood by the Savannah River, watching the boats glide by, I felt a mix of excitement and nostalgia—excited for the journey ahead, yet reminded of home. That first evening, under the warm glow of street lamps, I knew I had arrived somewhere special.
