Discover Atlanta: Civil Rights and Culture Self-Guided Tour

Discover Atlanta's extraordinary civil rights heritage and vibrant Southern culture with our self-guided tour, allowing you to explore Georgia's dynamic capital at your own pace. Walk the path of Martin Luther King Jr. through Sweet Auburn to Ebenezer Baptist Church where he preached and the King Center where he rests beside the eternal flame. Stand in the 4,678-seat Fox Theatre, a 1929 Moorish palace with gilded ceilings designed to evoke an Arabian courtyard under the stars. Explore the High Museum of Art's galleries by Richard Meier and Renzo Piano. Walk the 22-mile BeltLine trail connecting Ponce City Market to Krog Street Market and the neighborhoods of Inman Park and Virginia-Highland. Stroll 189 acres of Piedmont Park beneath the Midtown skyline, then climb the treetop Canopy Walk at the Botanical Garden. Taste soul food on Auburn Avenue, explore Buford Highway's international corridor representing 75 countries, and feel why Atlanta calls itself the city too busy to hate.
