Atlanta, the hub of the southeast US has a lot of incredible restaurants, museums, history, and people. Here we go through tourist information for Atlanta. We focus on what tourists should not do when they visit Atlanta. Whether you are going to a Hawks, Braves, or Falcons game (or their favorite soccer team Atlanta FC), visiting the High Museum of Art in Midtown or just visiting Zoo Atlanta you should always have your southern manners on and don't forget to grab a Coke while you are there at the World of Coca Cola.

@michaelbaron2889 4 года назад

As a native Atlantan (yes, there are some of those; not everyone is from somewhere else originally), this video is pretty spot on. To give some context, Buckhead is north of uptown, but you CAN take MARTA there if you want! You just may need to do some walking and/or Uber/Lyft to where specifically you want to go. Important note about MARTA: If you take the train, make sure you know what line you need to take to get to your destination. Two lines run north-south: Red and Gold. Red goes from the Airport to North Springs (heads mainly north to Buckhead, Dunwoody, Sandy Springs). Gold goes from the Airport and eventually heads northeast after Lindbergh Station to Lenox (Mall), Chamblee all the way to Doraville (near something natives call "Spaghetti Junction." Basically, that's where Interstates 285 and 85 come together on the northeast side). Best times to visit? Typically, March-mid May (remember your allergy medicine) and late September-November. Late May-early September...it is hot and HUMID. Always humid during the summer. You will sweat A LOT. A/C will become your best friend. If you want to be outside during the summer months and haven't been, I highly recommend White Water, a water park off I-75 in Marietta (NW of Atlanta). It's very fun and a great way to cool off. It can be expensive to get in, but if you plan on visiting two or more times, buy a season pass. Pays for itself on two visits. A great thing for families with children of all ages. You will need a car to get there, though. Born and raised here, I love Atlanta and I would not trade my hometown city with any other. Come visit, eat, drink, have a great time and take in all you can. So much history and culture here. Great job on the video, Mark!

As someone who lives in Atlanta I think this video was great! Definitely agree with everything in it. I’d also add a couple things I haven’t seen other people mention: 1) the beltline was briefly touched on in this video but it’s absolutely one of the must do things if you’re visiting atlanta and have some time. If you walk down it there are great views of the city and great bars and restaurants to stop at. Usually events too 2) Piedmont park/botanical garden - also great views of the city, always events going on, and generally pretty. 3) restaurants - he definitely touched on the most famous/touristy restaurants here but I think there are better. Atlanta magazine puts out a list of the best restaurants and it doesn’t miss. Don’t be afraid to drive a little farther to go to one bc it will be worth it

It was like the buses stopped running in that area. But the amazing southern hospitality worked in our favor, and the lady that was working at the gift shop gave us a ride back to the MARTA station.

Atlanta native here. He didn’t mention all the stunning suburban towns north of downtown. Metropolitan Atlanta (aka Metro Atlanta) is a monster land mass.

Metro Atlanta is a beast, downtown alone is nothing compared to all the expanding areas I mentioned.

Great video. I moved to Atlanta about four years ago from South Florida and I love it here. Traffic sucks of course but I try to avoid it at all cost. Just need to mention a few things. If you want to eat some of the best international foods in the city go to Buford Highway. You can find the best Vietnamese, Indoensian, Colombian, Central American, and more on this 7 mile road. Also if you want to find a good place to eat without hurting your wallet in Midtown, I highly recommend Eats near Ponce City Market. The new Braves stadium to a cool place to hangout and have a drink with friends. One of my favorite things about Atlanta is that you are really in the center of the South. NC,TN, AL, SC, and FL are all less than 4 hours away by car. Marta is decent I mainly use it to go to the airport from Doraville. Airport is very convenient and one can fly to most cities in the US. One last thing, if you can catch an Atlanta United soccer game in the beautiful Mercedes-Benz Stadium, that is the most awesome thing to witness in ATL.

Southern roads arent flat, they are angled for rain to run off. Which means if it ever snows/ices over its actually impossible to drive you will just slide off the road lol.

@Tanstaaflitis 4 года назад

That's pretty much standard road construction around the world. But Atlanta's climate makes freezing weather odd. The snow melts in the relatively warm roads. As temperatures drop, it freezes to ice. Once the tractor trailers cannot make it up the grades due to ice, everything shuts down. The 2014 event was so bad because the government insisted on keeping everything open and running--especially schools--until after the roads started freezing. Should've been closed at 6am that morning to avoid it, which is what they do now. BTW, today is the 6th anniversary of that event.

Um he didn’t say the BELTLINE. That is the main attraction of the city, a must go for sure! Also Mary macs is nice but go for dessert. Head over the busy bees on Martin Luther king for authentic soul food 👌🏾

At the end I talk about it in the food part. But I messed up when I said it.

@Sonia_178 4 года назад

You mentioned a lot of important points! Especially 3 places to go to (Georgia Aquarium, Coca-Cola world, Centennial Olympic park all connected). Restaurants are amazin,g and Ponce City Market is also worth a visit if you want to bike around the Atlanta Belt line! Glad you and your family enjoyed my hometown thanks for the tips shared.

@sburris65 4 года назад

Atlanta is 3 hours from me and I love the city. In this part of the south, we do have some salt trucks. But we get one maybe 2 days of snow per year so there is just not any reason to have a fleet of snow trucks. We just stay indoors with our bread and milk.

@heidimarchant5438 4 года назад

I've driven straight thru Atlanta on I-75 many times but hit it once during rush hour. Tbh I liked the bumper to bumper traffic, your not so afraid someone will run over you because everyone flies on that road. I quit taking the by pass many years ago when the city passed the law that trucks could only drive downtown if they were dropping off a delivery. Now the by pass is bumper to bumper with trucks.

@byDahlia 4 года назад

Pro tip: skip the Varsity. It’s a tourist icon sure but really mediocre for the price. They market themselves as where Georgia Tech students go after football games and stuff like that but nobody local eats there. Also MARTA typically sucks but it’s great for getting to the airport or getting from Midtown to Buckhead, especially at rush hours.

@MizzKittyBichon 4 года назад

If you are a Gone With the Wind fan, Margaret Mitchell's home is worth a visit. And yes to the driving. The traffic is so insane! My family got lost there at one point, and we wound up having to ask one of the locals walking down the street for help as we were driving. She then got into our car so she could literally point out to us where exactly to go and then got out of the car as soon as we found our destination. It was an interesting experience to say in the least, but let's just say I don't plan to do any more week-long road trips with many little stops along the way like my family loved to do. I remember getting so burnt out because we spent so much more time driving than really anything else.

As someone who lived In Florida their whole life and only recently moved to Atlanta, it boggles my mind how everyone thinks the drivers here suck. Sure, the drivers here have their moments, but nothing compares to the Florida drivers I encountered on the road on a daily basis

@marivalparish Год назад

I agree. I’ve also recently moved to Atlanta from Florida and everyone complains about the driving here. After I4 in Orlando and growing a little north of Miami- Atlanta is much more manageable.

@chichi775 Год назад

For not living here this was an excellent representation. The only thing I would add is that when you visit anywhere, be respectful of our space. There are a lot of people who come here for events that just act completely reckless and make the commute of people trying to go to work much worse. I'm mostly talking to the people who live in the suburbs and get wasted on the train after a football game. Also, Sandy Springs is gorgeous. I've lived in Georgia my whole life and Atlanta for the past 6 years. I thought I would only like Midtown, but Sandy Springs is almost like the city meets the country. Look up Morgan Falls Stare Park.

Hey, Wolter! We absolutely love your videos and we are going to use them to plan our honeymoon in Germany next year. Next time you come to Atlanta you should check out Decatur Square. We aren’t far outside of downtown Atlanta, maybe 20 minutes with traffic. We have amazing restaurants, festivals, and entertainment. I would recommend checking out Kimball House for a date night, Grindhouse Burgers for a family friendly dinner with better burgers than you can get anywhere else in town, Cafe Alsace for the amazing food and service, and Antico Pizza for a fun time with family. It has been the closest experience to eating Neapolitan pizza in a trattoria I have had since I lived in Naples, Italy as a kid. Gio’s Chicken Almafitano is also excellent and if you go to the one in Midtown, there’s an awesome gelato/coffee bar right next door. You are so spot on with using Uber or Lyft. My fiancé and I do this to make our date nights stress free so we don’t have to hunt for parking. Thanks for visiting our city and happy travels!

When I was a kid, sometimes my mom would take my sisters and I to the Sundial for lunch, 'cause at the time the prices weren't that bad for the occasional treat and it was fun to look over the city while we ate. Then just a few years later they jacked their prices up and really seemed to be looking down on people dressed casually even at lunch (mom was bringing my youngest sister's little girl scout troop, and she made sure they were well-behaved). Just looking now....their dinner menu prices are like "maybe if I'm taking a partner there to propose?" 'cause I'm not made of money 🤣

Great video, I'm from just a tad bit north of Atlanta and these are pretty spot on, driving in particular. One big heads up if you do drive is pay special attention to trucks. We have a lot of 18-wheelers here due to close proximity to the busiest airport in the world and the port of Savanah. Truck drivers already have enough stress driving through 8 lanes of hell so be courteous to them. Also, be aware of pick-up trucks and muscle cars. They are some of the most aggressive drivers out there, particularly the pick-ups.

@alabamacrimsontide473 3 года назад

I’ve done all of these things you mentioned in your video. I live just outside the city and I’m practically a native. One thing I suggest is check out Truist park at the battery. It is a family friendly place and is great for both sports and non sports fans however you need to visit when baseball is not in season or there is an away game because if you visit during a home game. The parking availability is low and the grass area for watch parties will be crowded.

Totally agree! Dallad local here. And Downtown Dallas is business oriented. All outside of museums and sights there. Alot more restaurants in the east, West & some in uptown and more unique spots more north, if you can drive or willing to pay for uber/lyft. Dallas is very spread out as well. I dont live far from downtown and deep ellum. And find myself getting in my car often.
