10 Best Romantic Places In Atlanta, Georgia - Updated 2021
"Atlanta History Center displays its clients with historic houses within their 33 acres of curated Goizueta gardens. Next, they have a professional staff that guides their clients throughout their museum and caters to registration concerns. In addition, they have been curating their gardens since 1990, making this art center one of the community’s pioneers of quality garden artworks."
"Located in Buckhead, the Swan House at the Atlanta History Center is an elegant, classically styled mansion built in 1928. If you’re looking for photos straight out of your favorite fairy tale then this is the location for you. The beautifully restored historic house offers pure old Southern charm with elegant staircases, a majestic lawn, gardens, fountains and stunning views."
"On this tour, learn about the city’s history and architecture with a stop at the beautiful 1928 Swan House and a visit to either the Margaret Mitchell House, the governor’s mansion, or the Rhodes Hall. Details of the tour depend on the day of the week and other details, but with three historic homes and two famous neighborhoods, you will learn more about Atlanta than on any other city tour."
"If you’re looking for something a little more vintage, Atlanta’s still got you covered. The Swan House was designed by Phillip T. Shutze for an elite married couple. Once they died, the mansion and its grounds were acquired by the Atlanta Historical Society."
"This seven-acre public conservation park doubles as a community garden and boasts walking trails, a spring-fed creek, a frog pond and more. It is located mere miles from downtown Atlanta and is managed by residents of the neighborhood."
"Just north of the Atlanta Arts District, The Breman Museum shares the history, culture, and art of Jewish Americans. One permanent exhibit, Absence of Humanity, details the events that led to the Holocaust, the unspeakable atrocities that resulted in the deaths of millions of European Jews, and the voices of Altlanta-area survivors. The Breman Museum also includes special exhibits and history talks that dive into topics like antisemitism in Atlanta, the history of Rich’s Department Store, and more."
"Lastly, consider The King Center, a nonprofit with photos and artifacts of MLK, or the Robert C. Williams Paper Museum, a public museum and research institution focused on preserving the history of paper technology. Atlanta Skyline, Author: Georgia National Guard, Source: Flickr"
"This research institution and public museum is dedicated to the preservation of the history of paper and paper technology. Although the space it’s small, you’ll leave more fascinated with paper than you thought was possible."
"This historic site includes several buildings, including the boyhood home of this civil rights leader, as well as the church where his father, and later King himself first came to preach. The firehouse that was once a main community center in the sixties, a civil rights walk of fame, and the “I Have a Dream” international world peace rose garden are also a part of this historic park. Opposite the visitor center, a large mural depicts scenes in Dr. Martin Luther King’s life."
"Learn about civil rights icon Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. at this 35-acre complex that includes an interactive visitor’s center (look for the Junior Ranger activity books), the Ebenezer Baptist Church where King was a pastor, his gravesite, and even his birth home a few blocks away."
"Sure, there’s fancier steakhouses in Atlanta like Chop’s Lobster Bar, but this Virginia-Highland stalwart keeps its steaks and martinis low-key and reasonably priced. Highland Tap — aka “steak basement” — is located beneath the street level on North Highland Avenue. The restaurant serves up old school cuts of steak and starchy sides, along with generously poured martinis with a sidecar, while bands like Night Ranger, Fleetwood Mac, and Run DMC play over the sound system."
"In a dimly lit cellar below the bustle of Virginia-Highland, old-hat bartenders have been pouring stiff drinks since 1989. The speakeasy vibe, with red leather banquettes, stone walls, carpet, and dark wood, comes without pretense."
"I love the old school vibe and clubby atmosphere of Highland Tap and it's even better in the years since they went smoke free. Their dining room is…"
"Located at the end of the south runways of the Peachtree-Dekalb Airport, this long-time staple of Atlanta dining will wow your wee air aficionados in a major way. With both indoor and outdoor patio dining (yes!), no seat is a bad seat for getting an eyeful of passenger planes taking-off and landing at the airport. Decorated in a WWII-era aviation theme, don't be surprised to find equipment and even vintage planes on the property."
"At Radial Cafe they believe that the best tasting food is also the greenest. They choose their produce from nearby farms because they’re committed to both quality and sustainability. The meals at this restaurant are creative, diverse, and rooted in the natural beauty of the land."
"Flying Biscuit Cafe has a handful of locations within and around Atlanta. All the locations have a cute, family friendly atmosphere. I love the bright, colorful walls and tablecloths."
"The titanic Sears, Roebuck & Co. building (1926) on the newly revitalised BeltLine in the Old Fourth Ward neighbourhood is one of the largest buildings in the Southeast United States. After Sears moved out in 1987, the city of Atlanta took up residence before the site was sold off in 2011 to be turned into this amazing shopping, dining, entertainment and residential space. The soul of Ponce City Market is in the Central Food Hall, which is along the same lines as Manhattan’s Chelsea Market for its globetrotting jumble of grab-and -go food stalls, sit-down restaurants and market vendors specialising in cheese, fresh bread, spices and fish."
"It’s a big commercial playground that was converted from an old, unoccupied Sears building, and it offers everything from food courts to film events to mini-golf courses on the roof. From the outside, it looks like one of the plain factory buildings of Atlanta. Once you venture indoors, however, you’ll have dozens of paths to fun."
