Atlanta’s iconic Beltline area began as a railway corridor, but today it serves as a series of trails with green space that leads through some of the city’s most exciting destinations. Here’s everything you need to know about having an amazing weekend along the Beltline!

Kick off the morning with brunch

Start the day with French toast and acai bowls at Two Urban Licks, one of the Beltline’s favorite brunch spots. Since you’re in Atlanta, you’ll definitely want to give the Southern fried chicken biscuit a try — it’s topped with delicious sausage gravy and served with scrambled eggs.

Get outside

The Beltline is the perfect place to enjoy the fresh air and bright sunshine! Piedmont Park is the beating heart of the Beltline. This sprawling urban oasis stretches 189 acres and is perfect for a mid-afternoon picnic, cooling off in the pool, or taking your dog for a walk.

Head over to Historic Fourth Ward Park, which features an excellent playground for kids and a splash pad that’s perfect for cooling down on hot summer days.

Explore the West End Trail for an afternoon jog among the city’s beautiful greenery, or follow the northside trail to Tanyard Creek Park where you can soak up the gorgeous scenery, climb the rock-climbing wall, and enjoy eighteen holes at Bobby Jones Golf Course, the first public golf course. 

Hit the shops

Spend the afternoon browsing the boutique shops at Ponce City Market! You’ll find many apparel favorites like Anthropologie, J. Crew, and Lululemon, as well as some unique retailers like clothing boutique Marine Layer, metaphysical shop Modern Mystic Shop, and West African fashion destination The Bombchel Factory. The food market is also packed with outstanding cuisine to try. 

Soak up the culture

Celebrate the work of local artists at musicians at Art on the Atlanta Beltline! Here you can catch some great concerts and view gallery exhibits. Spend some time walking along the Beltline to view the city’s iconic art installations as well.

Grab dinner

After a long day, relax with an impeccable meal at Kevin Rathbun Steak, for delicious prime steak and sumptuous starters and sides, like lobster fritters and charred jalapeno creamed corn. This chophouse sports an unforgettable ambiance and delivers breathtaking dishes with elegant presentation.

There’s also Cold Beer, perfect for after-dinner drinks with friends. This bar is stocked with fantastic craft beer and cocktails and features unique treats like confit wings, hot and numbing chicken, and steak tartare.
