Savannah, United States
Savannah was designed for walking from its founding in 1733, when General James Oglethorpe laid out the city on a grid of public squares that remain the heart of city life today. Each of the 22 surviving squares has its own character, surrounded by antebellum mansions, churches, and monuments. Bull Street runs through the finest sequence of squares, from Johnson Square to Forsyth Park with its iconic fountain. The cobblestoned River Street along the Savannah River front is lined with converted cotton warehouses now housing restaurants and shops. The Victorian District south of Forsyth Park offers painted lady houses and quieter residential streets. Bonaventure Cemetery, east of downtown, is a hauntingly beautiful landscape of moss-draped oaks and Victorian statuary made famous by the book Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil.

Use it to explore Forsyth Park and its fountain, The historic squares along Bull Street, River Street, plus hidden gems like Bonaventure Cemetery and Wormsloe Historic Site without booking a group tour.

Savannah is flat and compact, making it ideal for walking, but summers are oppressively hot and humid — carry water, use the shaded squares as rest stops, and plan indoor breaks during midday heat.
March through May and October through November offer the most pleasant walking weather, with blooming azaleas in spring and comfortable temperatures in fall.
