Atlanta Holidays

Skyline views, street art vibes and more Southern sass than a bucket of hot wings – Atlanta’s where the cool kids (and culture lovers) come to play.

Highlights

• 🎬 TV + film capital of the South – spot filming locations from Stranger Things, Marvel and more

• 🎨 World-class museums & street art – from High Museum to Krog Street Tunnel

• 🌳 Greener than you’d think – 300+ parks and the iconic BeltLine trail

• 🎤 Birthplace of hip hop + civil rights history – serious soul with a side of rhythm

Getting around

ATL may be a big city, but getting around is easier than trying to choose between peach pie and pecan. The MARTA train and bus system gets you to key hotspots like Downtown, Midtown, and Buckhead without needing to rent a car. Prefer pedal power? The Atlanta BeltLine (a former railway turned urban trail) lets you walk, bike or scoot your way around trendy neighbourhoods, breweries and parks. Uber and Lyft are also city staples if you’re out late or heading somewhere a bit more off the grid.

Things to do for families in Atlanta

Families, get ready – Atlanta’s one big adventure (with extra sprinkles). The Georgia Aquarium has sharks, sea lions and splash-tastic shows. Over at LEGOLAND Discovery Center, kids can build, explore and meet a life-size LEGO Atlanta skyline. Got a future astronaut in the fam? Head to Fernbank Science Center for hands-on exhibits and out-of-this-world planetarium shows. And for outdoor fun, Piedmont Park is perfect for picnics, paddleboats and impromptu games of frisbee. Bonus points: SkyView Atlanta (that’s the massive Ferris wheel downtown) gives you epic city views without anyone having to hike. Win-win.

Things to do for couples in Atlanta

Date night, done right. Atlanta’s got rooftop bars, candlelit restaurants and just enough quirk to keep things interesting. Start with a sunset stroll on the Atlanta BeltLine Eastside Trail – think street art, skyline views, and stops for cocktails or craft coffee. Fancy something fancy? Book a table at Canoe by the river, or sneak off to a speakeasy-style bar like Red Phone Booth. For couples who love culture, catch a show at the Fox Theatre or wander hand-in-hand through Atlanta Botanical Garden’s twinkling canopy walk. And if your vibe is more picnic-and-vibes? Grab goodies from Krog Street Market and set up shop in nearby Inman Park.

Things to do for groups in Atlanta

Planning a big trip with your mates? Atlanta brings the energy. Start with a brewery crawl in West Midtown or SweetWater’s massive taproom – craft beer, live music, and pub grub galore. Into sports? Catch an Atlanta Braves baseball game or see the Atlanta United fans turn the stadium into a full-on party. For a different kind of squad activity, try Trap Music Museum, axe throwing, or belt your heart out in a private karaoke room in Koreatown. When the sun goes down, hit Edgewood Avenue for dive bars, DJs and late-night tacos. Group chat = lit.

Things to do for foodies in Atlanta

Let’s get one thing straight – if you leave Atlanta hungry, you’ve done it wrong. This city’s a melting pot of mouthwatering madness. Start with soul food staples like chicken and waffles, collard greens and cornbread at iconic joints like Busy Bee Café. Craving global flavours? Atlanta serves it up – from Vietnamese pho in Buford Highway to authentic Ethiopian in Little Five Points. For something swish, head to Staplehouse or Gunshow where chefs put on a performance with every plate. Brunch lovers, rejoice: bottomless mimosas and shrimp & grits are basically a religion here. And dessert? Two words: peach cobbler. Mic drop.
