If Virgin River has ever made you wish you could step straight into its misty romance and small-town charm, there’s a real place that comes surprisingly close. Meet Savannah, Georgia—a coastal city that feels like Netflix escapism brought to life.
With moss-draped oak trees, slow-moving rivers, historic squares, and elegant antebellum architecture, Savannah delivers that same dreamy, emotional atmosphere fans love in Virgin River. It’s a place made for unhurried walks, quiet reflection, and romantic weekends away.
As Georgia’s oldest city, Savannah boasts 22 historic squares, horse-drawn carriages, and storybook parks like Forsyth Park, especially beautiful in spring. Movie lovers will recognize Chippewa Square from Forrest Gump, while history seekers can explore Franklin Square, the Davenport House, and the legendary Pirate’s House, known for its ghost stories.
