This city has deep community roots — and live music around every corner.
From museums and music venues to vintage shopping and eclectic neighborhoods, getting lost in the mix can be easy — and that’s all part of Atlanta’s charm. The special thing about A-Town is the community roots, which are easily felt in each neighborhood. Whether it’s taking in all the murals from local artists or having a conversation with one of the many chefs who call Atlanta home, you’ll quickly learn that this city was built on the entrepreneurial spirit of its residents (and their collaborations).

Little Five Points

Overview

Little Five Points is full of unique goods and vintage items you aren’t likely to find anywhere else. You could spend an entire day digging through pile upon pile of vintage duds. And before you leave, make sure to hit up one of the area's well-trafficked record shops.

Midtown

Overview

Atlanta’s Midtown neighborhood is a cultural hub, but it’s beautifully balanced by Piedmont Park’s natural (and very walkable) trails and the city’s botanical gardens. Both are fantastic places to get a little lost in the afternoon before hitting up a high-energy comedy club or getting your hand stamped at a local music venue.
