It's the Most Wander-ful Time of the Year

We must admit, we've got a warm and merry spot for this time of year. It's the ideal season to take your time as the city's temps drop just enough to welcome in the cooler months. Duck into one of several charming cafes for a morning caffeine pick-me-up and chat with a local while you wait. Savor seasonal menus vibrantly prepared with local ingredients and celebrate at winter events, brimming with twinkling lights, live performances and excitement. Think local holiday shopping as you wander through the Historic Landmark District. Stroll along the city's waterfront, where local vendors are eager to greet you at the city's annual Savannah Christmas Market. Experience the joy of this comforting season, wrapped in the warm glow of winter.
