The best photos of Savannah aren't always at the obvious landmarks. Sure, Forsyth Park and its fountain and The historic squares along Bull Street will fill your camera roll, but the real magic is in the side streets, the reflected light, and the unexpected angles that only reveal themselves to those exploring on foot. Seek out Bonaventure Cemetery for the kind of shot that no one else is posting.
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 attracts visitors for history and architecture, and Forsyth Park and its fountain and The historic squares along Bull Street and every landmark doubles as a photography opportunity when you know where to stand and when the light is best. A photography-focused walk pays attention to reflections, leading lines, and street scenes between the landmarks. Hidden photogenic spots like Bonaventure Cemetery reward those who wander off the main path.
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.
