Things to Do in Atlanta
Atlanta is a southern hot spot for music venues, theaters, shops, art galleries, museums, clubs, parks, and hundreds of restaurants. It is also home to the headquarters of dozens of Fortune 1,000 and more than 10 Fortune 500 companies.
You can enjoy outdoor activities year-round with Atlanta’s warm climate and beautiful green space. When you want a break from the city, you can find mountains, lakes, campsites, and hiking trails within an hour's drive — and convenient access to Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport makes the whole world just a flight away.
Georgia Tech is located in Midtown Atlanta, one of the city's most energetic and vibrant neighborhoods for business, culture, education, and entertainment. Here are a few resources to help you learn more about Midtown and all that Atlanta has to offer:
