What are other things to do in central Atlanta?
December 23rd, 2009 | by admin |I’m going to Atlanta for a school trip and we will have quite a bit of free time. I know about all of the major attractions, the aquarium, cnn center, centennial park, coco-cola, etc. I’m wondering what might be some cheap things to do in the downtown area that aren’t as much tourist areas but are still worth seeing. Specifically, places that really show off the culture and history of Atlanta. I will be staying at the Georgia Tech hotel and conference center so closer to that would be better. However, anywhere accessible from the malta lines would be fine.
Thanks!

My sister lived in Atlanta for 18 months. She liked visiting The Cyclorama (it is by the zoo). The Cyclorama is a LARGE painting showing the history of the Civil War. Also in the building of the Cyclorama, there is a steam engine that was involved in a famous train robbery. Stone Mountain is also a wonderful place to visit (I don’t know how accesable it is to downtown). Here is the main website for the Cyclorama. Here is the site for Stone Mountain. Have fun! Atlanta is a wonderful city.
