Destination of the Day

Atlanta, Georgia

While most visitors' first taste of Atlanta is via its bustling airport, the city's world-class attractions, ample parks, award-winning restaurants, and popular shopping districts make it a destination all by itself. And there's no time better than spring to visit, thanks to mild temperatures, longer days, trees and flowers in full bloom, and ample outdoor activities.

Things to Do

Atlanta truly has something for everyone. There are plenty of options for family-friendly outings, such as Zoo Atlanta and the Georgia Aquarium, home to more than 100,000 animals. Visit the 185-acre Piedmont Park, Atlanta's version of Central Park, and the adjacent Atlanta Botanical Gardens, which hosts the largest collection of species of orchids in the United States. And no trip to the city is complete without a walk or ride on the popular Beltline Eastside Trail, a 3-mile, mixed-use paved path from Midtown to Reynoldstown that connects Piedmont Park, Historic Fourth Ward Park, and the Freedom Park trail.

Where to Eat and Drink

While traditional Southern cuisine is easy to come by in Atlanta, the city's food scene extends beyond the standard fried chicken and meat and three plate. From international fare on Buford Highway to award-winning fine dining spots, the city offers a cuisine and price point for every budget and palate. Atlanta's cocktail scene is also stellar, with Decatur's oyster depot Kimball House and Krog Street Market's Ticonderoga Club—founded by some of the leaders of the city's modern cocktail revival—leading the way.

Atlanta's Top Museums

Don't overlook the city's thriving cultural scene, which includes museums dedicated to everything from natural history and fine art to Coca-Cola and Delta Air Lines. From getting up-close with the dinosaurs at the Fernbank Museum of Natural History to touring the birthplace of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., explore Atlanta's past and present at these top city museums.

Vacation Like a Pro

While Atlanta is a car-heavy city, visitors staying downtown or Midtown can easily walk or take the city's transit system, MARTA, to most popular attractions. Otherwise, renting a car or using a ride-share app is the best way to get around.

Your Packing List

If you're visiting in the early spring months, pack a lightweight jacket and pants for chilly mornings and evenings.

Those traveling over the summer should prepare for hot and humid weather. You'll only need light clothing this time of year—even overnight lows will feel downright balmy for most visitors.

Summer is also the rainiest season in Atlanta; pack your wet weather gear, including a waterproof rain jacket, an umbrella, and waterproof shoes.
