9 Beautiful Photo Spots in Savannah that You Don’t Want to Miss

In my opinion, Savannah, Georgia is one of the most beautiful southern cities in the U.S. It’s been listed as one of the prettiest cities in the U.S. for many, many years. This is why it’s no surprise how you’ll find some incredibly beautiful photo spots in Savannah.

I might be biased because the charming city of Savannah is one of my favorite places. However, I’m sure many of you also find it fascinating and oh, so pretty!

The last time I was here I was immersed in the spookiness of the ghost tours and haunted houses of Savannah. Which, in all honesty, they don’t look haunted at all.

The beauty of these historic houses is absolute madness, along with many other picturesque spots like the ones on this list.
