You can spend your time in Atlanta, Georgia, checking out museums, galleries, and malls, and you’ll probably have a great time. However, we recommend mixing these indoor activities with some outdoor tourist attractions that will allow you to get the full feel of the city. Here are some of them below.
Greet the Animals at Zoo Atlanta
Zoo Atlanta is a place where you can see up close animals from around the world. The zoo is divided into several areas, including African Savannaoo Atlant with lions, rhinos, and giraffes, Scaly Slimy Spectacular with reptiles and amphibians, and Giant Panda Conservation Center, which is only one of three institutions in the U.S. that houses giant pandas.
Explore Atlanta’s Street Art
The street art scene in Atlanta is second to none. This is a place where it seems like every corner might be hiding an impressive mural or intricate graffiti art by talented local and international artists. Street art is scattered around the city, but you’ll probably find the best pieces in Midtown.
Hike the Bartram Trail
Bartram Trail is arguably the most popular hiking route in Georgia. It is 35 miles long, starting in the nearby town of Clayton and stretching to Chattooga River’s western branch. The trail follows the footsteps of botanist and explorer William Bartram and offers some great views and a unique opportunity to meet Georgia’s wildlife.
