Architecture Places Map
Architecture in Savannah:
Savannah Historic District
The Cathedral Basilica of St. John the Baptist
My advice is to pack a snack if you plan to stay a while. There’s not much around for food right at the Cathedral, and you'll want to enjoy the tranquility without worrying about hunger.
I think visiting early in the morning around 9 AM is the way to go. The light streaming through the stained glass is just magical, and there are fewer people, so you can really soak it all in.
If you're driving, be aware that parking can be a pain. I recommend checking for nearby lots or using a rideshare option so you can skip the hassle. Save time for enjoying the place instead!
Chippewa Square
My advice is to bring a snack. There are benches to sit on, and it’s nice to relax with a little bite while soaking in the architecture and history. I wish I'd had a drink with me.
I think visiting Chippewa Square in the morning around 9 AM is the best. Fewer crowds and you can enjoy the serenity before the tourists swarm in. Plus, the lighting for photos is awesome!
I suggest taking your time to read the historical plaques around the square; they really add depth to the experience. I skipped them and regret not learning more about the area.
