Intown Atlanta   Minimize

Intown Atlanta is the epicenter of all the iconic experiences and landmarks that make the city an international hotspot. Intown includes Midtown, Downtown and Buckhead, the celebrated Peachtree Street and its signature skyline, historic landmarks such as the Martin Luther King, Jr., Historic Site, numerous Fortune 500 companies and prominent universities.

Live
Intown Atlanta is a mixture of historic neighborhoods, trendy artist communities, established communities and revitalized areas. Many boroughs have distinct architectural characteristics and plenty of charm.

Here’s a sampling of Intown neighborhoods: Ansley Park, Atlantic Station, Buckhead, Cabbagetown, Castleberry Hill, Downtown, Druid Hills, East Atlanta, Old Fourth Ward, Grant Park, Inman Park, Kirkwood, Little Five Points, Mechanicsville, Midtown and Virginia-Highland.

Work
Ten Fortune 500 companies call Atlanta home, and many of them are situated in the heart of Intown Atlanta. The Coca-Cola Company was born in Atlanta—the secret formula was developed in 1886. Today, the company has operations in 200 countries and is responsible for 1.6 billion beverage servings a day. You can see the famous neon Coca-Cola sign on Peachtree Road and learn more about the popular brand at the World of Coca-Cola in Downtown, located next to Centennial Olympic Park.

Other Fortune 500 and 1,000 companies that grace the Atlanta skyline are The Southern Company, UPS, Equifax and Acuity Brands.

Play
Within Midtown, Downtown, Grant Park and Buckhead are cultural attractions, expansive city parks, theaters, shops and restaurants. For world-class shopping, try Buckhead’s Lenox Square and Phipps Plaza, Atlanta’s version of Rodeo Drive.

Piedmont Park is one of the most beloved attractions in Atlanta. With a full calendar of events, such as art festivals and concerts, there’s always a reason to stroll its acres.

Nestled next to the park is the Atlanta Botanical Garden, a beautiful collection of themed gardens, including tropical, desert, orchid, Japanese and childhood-inspired plantings.

Experience
You can’t call yourself a true Atlantan without taking in a few key experiences: Catch a show at the Fox Theatre on Peachtree Street; order “a hot dog with strings and an F.O.” (a chili dog, French fries and a Frosted Orange drink) at The Varsity; join 55,000 runners on the Fourth of July for the world’s largest 10K, the Peachtree Road Race; watch one of your favorite musical acts at Chastain Park’s annual summer concert series, Classic Chastain; sip a cocktail in the revolving Sundial Restaurant atop the Westin hotel; root for your new home teams: the Atlanta Braves at Turner Field, the Atlanta Falcons at the Georgia Dome and the Atlanta Hawks at Philips Arena.
