Spanish moss, cobblestone squares, candlelit dinners, and a pace of life that makes you wonder why you were ever in a hurry.
Savannah's historic district is built around 22 public squares — small parks shaded by live oaks and Spanish moss, each named for a historical figure and each slightly different in character. The city is designed for wandering, and wandering is what you should do.
The food scene has improved dramatically in the last decade. The Olde Pink House is the classic splurge; The Grey (in a renovated Greyhound bus terminal) is the more exciting option. Both require reservations.
Avoid midsummer. Savannah in July and August is hot in a way that makes being outside difficult. March through May and September through November are the sweet spots — warm enough to walk comfortably, cool enough to enjoy it.
Pairs who love walking, history, and good food without needing a high-energy itinerary. The city is flat, beautiful, and full of things to notice. Works well for any age combination.
