ATLANTA and SAVANNAH -- In Travel + Leisure magazine's 2011 America's Favorite Cities face-off between the two Georgia cities measured -- Atlanta and Savannah -- Atlanta loses.
Savannah wins in every category measured against Atlanta: people, nightlife, culture, shopping, food/drink/restaurants, quality of life and visitor experience, best times to visit and type of trip.
Of all 35 U.S. cities considered, Savannah took the No. 1 spot for romantic escape, public parks and outdoor access, and visiting in the fall.
The annual online survey appeared on TravelandLeisure.com from May 16 to Aug. 15. Respondents were asked to identify if they were visitors or residents, then to rank their choice of the 35 cities in 54 questions across the eight categories.
Favorite Cities winners are featured in the magazine's November issue.
