During winter in Savannah, the weather is cool and mild, plus it's the off-season and there are no crowds! Winter is the perfect time of year to visit our beautiful city.
Tours
Walk, bike, Segway or horse-drawn carriage - day or night – it all works. Take a pub crawl, haunted pub tour, ghosts or cemetery tour, foodie tour, hidden garden tour, or a tour about "that book."
Nature
Head to Oatland Island Wildlife Center, the Savannah National Wildlife Refuge, or Savannah-Ogeechee Canal Museum and Nature Center. Or take a dolphin sightseeing tour at Tybee.

The Coastal Heritage Society oversees sites including Pin Point Heritage Museum, Savannah Children's Museum and the Georgia State Railroad Museum.
