Useful Tips

If you're short on time, consider skipping some of the indoor attractions like World of Coca-Cola and instead spend more time exploring outdoor experiences like the Beltline. If you have more time, include a day trip to Stone Mountain Park or explore more of the city's historic neighborhoods like Inman Park or Virginia Highland. Don't forget to wear comfortable shoes since much of the city is best explored on foot.
