Visit Savannah
Join us in the Hostess City
Savannah bustles to life each day beneath the canopy of enchanting Spanish moss-draped oaks. A rare city, its mix of modern professions amid a historic setting complement an intriguing history.
Since 1733, Savannah has hosted pirates, presidents, traders, and more. Visitors from around the globe come in search of the quintessential Southern experience, from sweet tea to pecan pie, all served with a side of drawl, y'all. It's why Savannah is known as the Hostess City, and no matter who you are, you're welcome here.
October in Savannah is a favorite time of year for many locals as the summer humidity recedes and the days start to cool. Temperatures typically range between 65 and 85 degrees, so we recommend you dress in layers and pack accordingly. Savannah is a walking city, so comfortable shoes, an umbrella and a light jacket are suggested.
