Savannah features 21 squares in a grid, making it Americas first planned city. The exquisite architecture is characteristic of early Southern plantations and opulent 19th century mansions. While here, walking and trolley tours are available to see the citys many historic buildings and sites. Savannah isnt all history, however. While here, one can shop to their hearts content, whether in the Historic Districts cobblestone River Street shops or in the Southsides shopping malls. Savannah also has an antique district at the streets of Broughton and Bull, where those who prefer history in their souvenirs can find that as well.
