Getting around

Getting around Georgia is a breeze, whether you're rolling into ATL (Atlanta’s Hartsfield-Jackson Airport – the busiest in the world, no biggie) or road-tripping down from nearby states. Major highways connect the north’s mountain towns to the south’s sandy coastline, with plenty of pit stops for pecan pie. In cities like Atlanta and Savannah, rideshares and public transport keep you mobile without needing to rent wheels. Want to explore the scenic byways or those sleepy little towns? Car hire’s your best mate.

Things to do for families in Georgia

Georgia is basically one giant playground for families. In Atlanta, the Georgia Aquarium is a jaw-dropper (hello, whale sharks!), and the Children’s Museum gets full marks for hands-on fun. Zoo Atlanta’s pandas are a must-see, and if your kids are into space or science, the Fernbank Museum has dino bones and planetarium shows galore. Heading outdoors? Hit Stone Mountain Park for cable car rides, hiking trails and laser light shows (yes, really). Or, for a seaside escape, Jekyll Island has beaches, bike paths and the Georgia Sea Turtle Center where kids can meet the flippered locals. Trust us – they’ll sleep like logs after a Georgia day out.

Things to do for couples in Georgia

Looking for romance with a Southern twang? Georgia brings the vibes. Savannah’s cobbled streets and oak-lined squares are basically made for hand-holding strolls – don’t forget to sneak a kiss under the Spanish moss. Head to the North Georgia Wine Country for a vineyard-hopping day among the foothills of the Appalachians, or soak in a hot tub cabin in Blue Ridge while the sun sets over the mountains. Fancy a city break? Atlanta’s rooftop bars, live jazz clubs and luxury hotels bring the buzz. Or, keep it coastal and get cosy with a beach picnic on Driftwood Beach – just you, your other half, and some seriously dreamy driftwood.

Things to do for groups in Georgia

Whether you’re planning a bestie getaway or a big birthday bash, Georgia’s got your group covered. Atlanta is your nightlife HQ – think rooftop brunches, brewery tours, and club nights that don’t quit ‘til morning. If your crew loves the outdoors, pack the hiking boots and head for the Appalachian Trail, or rent a lakeside cabin at Lake Lanier for swimming, jet-skiing and BBQ nights by the firepit. For a group trip with major chill vibes, Tybee Island is beachy, boozy and made for flip-flop living. Oh, and let’s not forget Savannah’s open-container rule – yep, you can sip your cocktails on the street while you explore. Legendary.

Things to do for foodies in Georgia

Georgia = heaven for hungry travellers. Start with a biscuit (the buttery, flaky kind) from a local diner, and then dive headfirst into the Southern comfort food scene. Fried chicken, shrimp and grits, BBQ pork – it’s all here, and it’s all ridiculously tasty. Atlanta brings the global flavours too, with Korean BBQ, Caribbean eats and top-tier vegan spots. Over in Savannah, foodies can feast on Lowcountry classics like she-crab soup and oysters fresh off the boat. Got a sweet tooth? You have to try a peach cobbler (you’re in the Peach State, after all). And if you’re chasing that perfect Instagram moment, don’t miss brunch in a converted mansion, complete with mimosas and chandeliers. Food coma? Worth it.
