The Best Warm-Weather Destinations for a Winter Vacation in the United States

7. Savannah, Georgia

Another fantastic vacation destination in Georgia is Savannah – a riverside city with a ton of historical ambiance. It’s one of the few major cities in the South that wasn’t completely destroyed in the Civil War, which means that the city contains some of the oldest examples of antebellum architecture in the country.

It has a reputation for being a laid-back vacation destination, but the book Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil (originally published in 1994, with a movie made in 1997) has given the town an air of mystery. If you’re a fan of the book, make sure to check out Bonaventure Cemetery, which is filled with ancient graves draped with trailing Spanish moss.
