Atlanta is a sprawling, forward-thinking city with a dining scene, arts infrastructure and cultural heft that rivals any American metropolis. And yet this powerhouse destination continues to be overshadowed by the period-piece charms of Charleston, Savannah and Nashville. Indagare’s cheat sheet cuts through the noise. Below, discover the restaurants, hotels and experiences worth your time on a first visit or a fifth.
Sleep…
at Four Seasons, a reliably great stay in downtown Atlanta. In Buckhead, Indagare recommends the St. Regis.
Experience...
urban renewal at its finest at the Atlanta Beltline, a 22-mile rails-to-trail loop that stitches together 45 of the city’s neighborhoods.
Splurge...
on the behind-the-scenes Private Voyage at the world-class Georgia Aquarium, to get an exclusive, up-close look at the marine life on view with a biologist.
Eat...
at top restaurants like Little Bear, an irreverent, foodie-favorite spot in Summerhill. The nightly “Dealer’s Choice” prix-fixe is the way to go.
Drink...
some of the best margaritas in town at Atlanta-born Tex-Mex taqueria Superica.
Savor...
a leisurely morning at Atlanta Botanical Garden, with thousands of species of plants.
See...
places associated with the life of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.—including the home he was born in—at Martin Luther King, Jr. National Historical Park.
Shop...
at Buckhead Village, a polished, open-air destination for shopping spanning several walkable blocks.
Visit...
the National Center for Civil and Human Rights, a space for both education and reflection. Galleries explore everything from the historical American Civil Rights Movement to the broader, ongoing global fight for human rights.
