Atlanta City Guide

Hi guys! I just got back from a quick trip to Atlanta with my roomie! It's such a fun city and there are so many fun things to do! I'm adding in the basic things you should do if you've never been to the ATL, but I'll also throw in a few of my favorite spots too!

ATlanta city guide:

 

Things To Do

The High Museum of Art

 

Braves Game at SunTrust Park

 

The Georgia Aquarium

 

The Beltline Murals

I planned an afternoon based on going to see the pretty spotted mural at the Beltline, but the mural on the opposite wall was STUNNING. I want to go back with my camera and a color-coordinating outfit immediately.

Places to eat

The Flying Biscuit

I might be biased, but I think the Flying Biscuit is one of the most charming spots in the city.

The Yard House

We ate here during a baseball game, and it was so fun! They have a great beer selection, the food was fantastic, and we felt so much a part of the excitement of baseball without paying for tickets.

The Varsity

This one could seem a little touristy, but the Varsity is a MUST VISIT on a trip to Atlanta. This past trip was my first time to visit this city staple, and I can't believe I hadn't been before! I got a hamburger AND a hotdog and they were both delicious. My friend got the triple bacon burger and also said it was great!

HOTELS

The Omni at the Battery

So this was a bit of a splurge, but it was such a cool experience!! everything was so nice. The rooms were baseball inspired but not "on the nose" and they were stunning. The pool & poolside bar felt so fancy. And the crowning gem was the view of Suntrust park from the pool deck!! We went to the Braves/cubs game on S
