When people ask me where they should go in Georgia, I'm a little biased. I always want to plan another trip to Georgia's sandy beaches, waterfalls and lakes. But just as mazing are Georgia's cities! That's why I want to tell you about Atlanta and Savannah first, before diving into smaller towns and parks. These top places to visit in Georgia offer unforgettable experiences for every kind of explorer.

If you are in a hurry, here are the highlights:

  • Stroll under Spanish moss and explore historic squares in Savannah.
  • Hike on the trails and see waterfalls in the Blue Ridge Mountains.
  • Discover world-class attractions and dining in vibrant Atlanta.
  • Relax on the beaches of Tybee Island
  • Tour charming small towns like Dahlonega and Madison for history, wine, and Southern hospitality.
