History drips from Savannah, Georgia, the state’s oldest city, like its ubiquitous Spanish moss. Much of that history is sweet. Fairy-tale carriages roll past Gaston Street’s elegant, shoulder-to-shoulder homes. The brown-sugary scent of pralines wafts from shops. And in March, azaleas bloom beneath moss-laden oak limbs in a stunning pink display.
Savannah is one of the most romantic spots in the U.S. It’s like Europe, really, thanks largely to its Italianate, Georgian, Romanesque, Gothic and Greek Revival architecture. The iconic Cathedral Basilica of St. John the Baptist is a French Gothic pièce de résistance. The sense of being in another country different accent, flora, flavors is part of the fun.
