Downtown Atlanta: The Visitor's Hub

Downtown Atlanta is the most visitor-friendly district in the city — dense with world-class attractions, MARTA-accessible, and largely walkable.

The Core Cluster

Within a 10-minute walk of Centennial Olympic Park:

  • Georgia Aquarium — largest in the Western Hemisphere
  • World of Coca-Cola — history and global beverage tastings
  • National Center for Civil and Human Rights — a powerful cultural experience
  • College Football Hall of Fame — interactive sports history
  • Children's Museum of Atlanta — perfect for young families
  • Centennial Olympic Park — free, open green space

Mercedes-Benz Stadium

The home of Atlanta United FC and the Atlanta Falcons. Tours are available on non-event days.

Castleberry Hill

Atlanta's art district, just south of downtown. Galleries, street art, and some of the city's best food.

Getting There

MARTA's Peachtree Center, Five Points, and Vine City stations all serve downtown Atlanta. The streetcar connects Centennial Park to Sweet Auburn.
