dc.descriptionSolutions to low energy string theory describing black holes and black strings are reviewed. Many of these solutions can be obtained by applying simple solution generating transformations to the Schwarzschild metric. In a few cases, the corresponding exact conformal field theory is known. Various properties of these solutions are discussed including their global structure, singularities, and Hawking temperature. (This review is based on lectures given at the 1992 Trieste Spring School on String Theory and Quantum Gravity.)
