If you like your town's annual tour of homes or poking around old cemeteries, you could easily spend a week in Savannah.
But if your eyes glaze over after the third time you hear, "Duncan Phyfe," a long weekend to explore this city of moonlight and magnolias will be perfect: a little history, some time at the beach, and a lot of seafood!
Whatever you do, relax. The pace here is pure South. Lush magenta azaleas, Spanish moss-draped live oaks at Forsyth Park and the exquisite architecture of homes like the Owens-Thomas House invite you to slow down and take a look. River Street shops lure you to browse for kitschy souvenirs like the ubiquitous floater pens with Savannah landmarks drifting up and down the barrel. And if shopping is your idea of capital punishment, benches await you. Chill and watch the river roll by.
