Nature Walk in Savannah

Even the most urban cities hide pockets of nature for those willing to walk. Savannah's parks, gardens, and green corridors offer a breathing space between the landmarks — and some of the best views you'll find.

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.
