On our first full day in Savannah, we took the Old Town Trolly Tour which provides a guided
tour of the city. It's a great way to get an introduction to the history and layout
of Savannah. They run every 20 minutes along the route, and you can get an all-day ticket
so you can get on and off as many times as you want.
The layout of Savannah is a grid with a series of squares
which contain a little park.
They each have their unique charm and are a collection of mini-oasis in the city. Besides the
trees, shrubs, and flowers, there are statues and plaques honoring the people and events that shaped
Savannah's history.
Many of the squares are surrounded by old mansions, several of them open for public tours.
