Atlanta is known for being hot, on fire, even. As a decisive final blow to the Southern states during the American Civil War, General William Tecumseh Sherman burned much of the city to the ground in 1864 in his infamous “March to the Sea.” The city has been like the Phoenix that rose from the ashes since, as the metro area now is home to more than five million residents, the world’s busiest international airport, a thriving culinary scene, tributes to hometown hero and Civil Rights leader Martin Luther King, Jr., a burgeoning film business, world-class shopping, and so much more.

Here are the Top 10 Things To Do in Atlanta.

Atlanta BeltLine.

What started as an idea for a Georgia Tech graduate thesis has become one of Atlanta’s best-loved outdoor attractions. Atlanta was once called “Terminus” because of the railroads that converged in the city before the Civil War, and this project repurposes the historic 22-mile railway loop around the downtown area into a multi-use paved path lined with native plants and art installations. While only the Eastside Trail is fully complete, the other sections are hike-able.

Atlanta Street Art Tour.

You'll be guiding yourself on this exploration; just visit the Atlanta Street Art Map and choose which of the seven tours you want to explore, then strike out on your own. Each tour—including the Atlanta Beltline Eastside Trail, Cabbagetown, Edgewood Avenue, Downtown, East Atlanta, Little Five Points, and the Pittsburgh Neighborhood—has its own flavor.

The Roof Top at Hotel Clermont.

Hotel Clermont, a former motor lodge, is one of Atlanta's buzziest new boutique hotels. Ride the elevator to the fifth floor and you’ll find yourself at The Roof Top, a retro AstroTurf paradise with outdoor furniture, string lights, and lawn games (corn hole, anyone?), all against a backdrop of skyline views.

World of Coca-Cola.

Coca-Cola was invented in downtown Atlanta by pharmacist John S. Pemberton in 1886, and this is the brand's temple—a 92,000-square-foot interactive museum that's drawn more than 25 million caffeine-seeking visitors since 1990.

The Shops Buckhead Atlanta.

Atlanta’s been a shopping destination in the South for decades, but the 2014 opening of The Shops Buckhead Atlanta further cemented the reputation. The outdoor complex, which covers six city blocks in Atlanta’s highest-end neighborhood (seriously, the Governor’s mansion is just a few minutes walk away), is so beautifully manicured with leafy trees strung with twinkle lights, colorful planter boxes, and ambient music piped in, it feels like it could’ve been a set for a scene in The Stepford Wives.

Jimmy Carter Presidential Library & Museum.

Although the Jimmy Carter Presidential Library and Museum opened in 1986, the modernist structure still feels contemporary today. With 24,000 square feet of museum space, this is a celebration of former U.S. President (and Georgia native) Jimmy Carter on a grand scale. Far from being a staid and strictly academic, the museum offers interactive exhibits that explore Carter's life before, during, and after his time in the Oval Office.

The Center for Civil and Human Rights.

This downtown attraction, opened in 2014, celebrates the American Civil Rights Movement and the global Human Rights Movement. The airy, modern building was designed to inspire positive action with lofty architectural elements like a clear glass front and two bold, curved walls.

Lee's Bakery.

If “Atlanta is the cultural capital of the New South," as Marian Liou, founder of We Love BuHi, is fond of saying, then "Buford Highway is its multicultural heart.” It's true—along this bustling street, you’ll find every manner of international cuisine, including Vietnamese, Peruvian, Chinese, Malaysian, Korean, Cuban, and Mexican.

Fox Theatre.

The Fox Theatre is easily the grandest entertainment venue in Atlanta, and a visit feels like you’re traveling back in time to the golden age of theater and movies. Built-in 1929, the theater was originally part of a Shriners Temple, and Islamic architectural details are a major focus.

Georgia Aquarium.

Read any list of must-visit Atlanta attractions, and the Georgia Aquarium is somewhere at the top, and rightly so. This living museum, which opened in 2005, is the largest indoor aquarium in the Western Hemisphere, with more than 10 million gallons of fresh and saltwater. The massive structure is home to more than 100,000 creatures and has 100 distinct habitats for wildlife, including whale sharks, sea lions, bottlenose dolphins, belugas, manta rays, penguins, and more. It’s also home to a teaching hospital for aspiring marine biologists and vets.
