I wasn’t sure if I was walking into a cathedral or a basilica — turns out it’s both, and it’s absolutely breathtaking. The moment you step inside, the soaring ceilings, intricate stained glass, and peaceful energy just stop you in your tracks. I genuinely wasn’t prepared for how astonishing it would be.
The people inside were incredibly kind and informative — not in a pushy tour-guide way, just genuinely happy to share the history and beauty of the place. They answered questions, pointed out details I would’ve missed, and made the whole experience feel personal.
One highlight? I saw the baptismal pool where they actually dunk babies! I don’t know what I expected, but seeing it up close added such a human, meaningful touch to this already grand space.
Whether you’re religious or just someone who appreciates art, architecture, or peaceful places, this is a must-visit in Savannah. It’s more than just a stop — it’s an experience.
Orleans Square - Savannah Paul J. Hughes: Beautiful square with a set of several relaxing benches and a fountain surrounded by a pool. The fountain is lit internally at night. Nice selection of Dogwood and Oak trees with exceptional residential architecture on one side. This is one of 23 Savannah squares existing today. Many others feature monuments and fountains.
Savannah Botanical Gardens - Savannah Betty Woodward: It was a smaller but well maintained garden. We visited when the camellias were not in bloom but would like to visit again when they are. They had a nice are for children to explore as well as a charming library in the historical house on the grounds. It is by appointment or if by chance someone is in the grounds for a tour of the historical home and library.
Reynolds Square - Savannah Vivian K: Historic square for the founder of the Methodist Church. Clean and quiet with seating around. In the evenings, there are ghost tours that meet nearby and sometimes you can overhear their tales. Just bring bug spray or insect repellent because as I waited for a tour in the evening, I got 5 bug bites around my ankles (the only area with exposed skin as I wore long pants and long sleeves).
Monterey Square - Savannah Tristan Garrett: This square has a very cool historical monument in it, and the vibe there is always so chill and everybody is so friendly
Telfair Academy - Savannah Jenny Floria: Thoroughly enjoyed this beautiful space with sculptures, paintings, and other pieces. The rooms are open and airy, not overstuffed with too many pieces to look at. Also a lovely size, it’d be hard to lose yourself in this space compared to other larger museums. A perfect mid-day getaway!
Columbia Square - Thomas Smithfield: Columbia Square will always hold a special place in my heart. It’s where I got engaged to my wife. Tucked away in Savannah’s historic district, it’s one of the more peaceful and quiet squares, offering a perfect spot to slow down and take in the charm of the city.
The simple fountain at its center adds just the right touch of elegance, surrounded by moss-draped oaks and shaded benches. It’s not flashy or crowded, but that’s what makes it special. There’s a sense of calm and timelessness here that makes it ideal for a quiet moment or a life-changing one.
A beautiful, understated gem worth visiting and remembering.
Pin Point Heritage Museum - Savannah Leslie S: This is a great, educational museum for the whole family. Highly recommend and its very interesting. Youll definitely learn more the Gullah Geechee culture. My family and I had an excellent tour guide who thoroughly explained everything to us and made it easy to understand. He was quite friendly.
