Savannah, GA: What a walking city!

Savannah, GA is honestly one of the most beautiful cities I have ever had the opportunity to wander around. The trees, the architecture, the fountains, the parks... oh, so many parks. I felt like every couple of blocks there was another square with another park!

Savannah actually has 24 squares total, one of which - Chippewa Square - happens to be famous for the legendary movie Forrest Gump. You can read more about that here, but of course most everyone knows his famous "Life is like a box of chocolates," line.

Once you've wandered around the parks, a stroll by the waterfront could be lovely! I really enjoyed watching the huge liners piled high with shipping containers gliding in and out of the city.  There are a few restaurants down there where you can sit outside and watch; if you're with a friend or a partner like I was, it's a great area to split a bottle of bubbly!

Speaking of a bottle of bubbly, did I mention that Savannah has open container laws? You can actually order a glass of wine or a beer in a cup to go and bring it with you!

So how perfect is that?! Grab a glass of wine and have a beautiful wander.

Take your time to enjoy the countless fountains all over the city. Each square has a little piece of Savannah history documented, so there's plenty of history to learn.

Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD) is down there, so you know you're gonna find a ton of original artwork to check out.

The weather is gorgeous throughout most of the year, nice and sunny and warm; so if you're like me and half the year is a bit on the cold and damp side, it's a perfect little mini-vacation spot down in the south.

I highly recommend you leave time in your trip to Savannah to let yourself walk and wander and take it all in. It's a really beautiful small city with lots to see!
