Atlanta attracts a mix of leisure and business travelers throughout the year, so you know it’s always bustling with activity. From historic landmarks and lush green parks to world-class museums and a vibrant nightlife scene, the best things to do in Atlanta will please everyone (kids, too). Atlanta has done well to preserve its history and culture, from its arts and industry to music and theater, not to mention the history of the Civil Rights movement. Once you’ve explored all that Atlanta has to offer, dive into the city’s culinary offerings, where you’ll find a slew of renowned bars and restaurants ranging from local favorites to ones with a coveted Michelin star. No matter what you choose to do, Atlanta guarantees a fun time.  June 2025: It’s an excititing time to be in Atlanta. You can catch a FIFA Club World Cup match, kick off summer with the appropriately-named Summerfest, spend an after-hours evening at the High Museum of Art, stroll an Alice in Wonderland-themed exhibit at Atlanta Botanical Garden and mark Juneteenth at Piedmont Park.
