Atlanta in 24 Hours: The Perfect Day

Atlanta in 24 Hours: The Perfect Day
Atlanta, Georgia is one of the top destinations to visit in the U.S. for its long list of attractions and rich history. For those who only have 24 hours to spend in the location, it can be difficult to know how to spend your time as you explore the area and get a few bites to eat. If you want to enjoy a memorable day at the destination, there are a few activities and attractions to include in your itinerary.
Morning – Start your day by visiting the Atlanta Beltline where you can jog or ride your bike, offering a chance to spot the artwork that is on display from Art on the BeltLine and Tiny Doors ATL near the trail. Afterward, you can grab breakfast from Bread & Butterfly, which is known for its brioche toast and charming French decor in the quaint eatery. If you’re in a hurry, stop by Sublime Doughnuts where you’ll find a selection of custom decorative treats that you can take on the go while rubbing shoulders with the locals. You can eat the food while heading over to the Atlanta History Center where various exhibits are on display, along with gorgeous gardens on the exterior of the museum.
Mid-Day/Lunch – Once you’ve had a firsthand look at artworks on display, you can head over to enjoy a meal at Miller Union on the Westside. The establishment serves farm-fresh Southern cuisine in a sleek and modern setting. You can work off your meal at Exhale Spa where yoga classes are hosted throughout the week. Afterward, head to Georgia Aquarium to spot different types of mammals in a beautiful and educational setting. The World of Coca-Cola is also a popular place to explore where you can learn about the rich history of the most famous beverage in the world.

Evening/Dinner – Once the sun goes down, take a ride on the SkyView where you can ride on the city’s Ferris wheel and get a panoramic view of the city lights as you sit 200 feet in the air. Head to Bar Margot for a drink before dining at Kevin Gillespie’s Gunshow where you can indulge in authentic dim-sum that is considered to be the best in Atlanta.

Late Night – If you’re looking to explore Atlanta late at night, visit the Ponce City Market’s rooftop attraction where both shopping and dining are available in a historic building. You can also stop by Skyline Park for a bit of fun where you can feel like a kid again while playing skee ball and putt-putt. Old-school entertainment is abundant on the rooftop with a spectacular skyline view of the city.
Spending the day in the city means getting the chance to stay busy while enjoying plenty of activities. Knowing what Atlanta has to offer will allow you to immerse yourself in the culture and have a memorable stay that is both fun and worthwhile.
