Savannah

Antebellum squares and Spanish moss create America's most atmospheric Southern city.

Savannah moves at the pace of horse-drawn carriages clicking over cobblestones, where every corner reveals another perfectly preserved square draped in Spanish moss. The city feels like a movie set that never struck its props, with grand mansions casting long shadows over sidewalks where locals sip sweet tea and strangers become storytellers.

Perfect for

  • Architecture enthusiasts drawn to preserved 18th-century urban planning
