Introducing Savannah & Charleston
Only 108 miles apart along the Atlantic coast, Savannah and Charleston share certain geographic characteristics and historical similarities, and both are gracious, well-preserved, and small. But although they may be sister cities, they're not identical twins.
Let's first get the clich?s over with. Southern hospitality rules in both cities and both have beautiful mansions in a range of architectural styles, horse-drawn carriages clip-clopping on cobblestone streets, lovely gardens, oak tree dripping Spanish moss, and plenty of verandas on which to kick back with a mint julep.
The first mark of difference between these two cities is, of course, that they're in different states. South Carolina is the smallest southern state while Georgia is the largest state east of the Mississippi. And it might surprise more than a few people that Savannah has a larger population than Charleston and that it throws the second-largest St. Patrick's Day celebration in the states (after New York City). But this does make sense, as Savannah is known to throw a good party.
Eminently beautiful and strollable, Charleston and Savannah give each other a run for their money. (A little sibling rivalry never hurt anyone.) Compare for yourself.
