Attractions and tips

Spend time at the High Museum of Art, the top art museum in the southeastern United States, and located in Atlanta's midtown district. Also, rekindle your Olympic spirit at the Centennial Olympic Park, a 21-acre public park in downtown Atlanta. While there, visit the Fountain of Rings or grab lunch at Googie Burger. Appreciate history from the Civil Rights Movement by going to the Martin Luther King, Jr. National Historic Site. It features several buildings around the activist's childhood home.

Since the downtown district is home to many high-rise hotels, it's a common choice for tourist accommodations. However, if you're in the mood for upscale shops and trendy restaurants, consider staying in Buckhead, which is north of midtown. People often visit Atlanta from late May through August so they can take advantage of outdoor activities including concerts. However, spring and fall are good alternatives if you want to beat the characteristically hot, humid weather.
