Even the most urban corners of Savannah hide pockets of nature for those willing to walk. Green spaces like Forsyth Park and its fountain and The historic squares along Bull Street offer a breathing room between landmarks — and some of the best views you'll find anywhere in the city. Seek out quieter retreats like Bonaventure Cemetery for the calm that the busier parks can't offer.
Savannah is the queen of Southern walkability, with 22 garden squares laid out on a grid beneath canopies of live oaks draped in Spanish moss. The historic district is one of the largest in the country and best explored at a strolling pace.

Savannah is known for history and architecture, but between the busy streets, spaces like Forsyth Park and its fountain and The historic squares along Bull Street provide a different kind of experience — calmer, greener, and more grounded than a typical sightseeing route. Quieter spots like Bonaventure Cemetery provide the kind of rest that the main attractions cannot.
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.
