Savannah is built for squares, live oaks, old houses, riverfront walks, food, and slow heat. It works when the trip wants a Southern city that can be read block by block.
Do not visit Savannah expecting every worthwhile stop to be close together or easy to improvise. Do the practical reading of Savannah first: hours, routes, weather, crowds, and how far the neighborhoods really sit from one another. A day in Savannah should account for distance, heat, parking, and transit before adding more stops. In Savannah, plan routes realistically and use rideshares or a car where transit is weak.
