Welcome to GO METRO ATLANTA

Go Metro – to the nine Go Metro Atlanta communities, that is: Atlanta, Marietta, Cobb County, Sandy Springs, Roswell, Alpharetta, Villa Rica, Lawrenceville and Dunwoody. Families, couples, girlfriends, seniors. Adventurers, gourmands, sports lovers, shoppers. Buffs of theatre, nature, history and mystery. Hikers, bikers, gold diggers, too.

Play Metro – at Big Creek Greenway, Lake Acworth, Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area and other places where the wild things are – and all right outside Atlanta. See art galleries and ghosts and Gwinnett Braves baseball. Applaud tragedy – on stage – comedy, too. Feast at festivals feting food, art, music, more. Ride the roads of Roswell – the first and currently the only nationally designated bicycle-friendly community in Georgia. Explore water worlds, wetlands and wildlife. Revisit old faves like the High Museum of Art, located in the place where Dr. Martin Luther King was born and is now buried and where Gone With the Wind was written – Atlanta, home of Coca-Cola. Meet a new city called Dunwoody. And find lots of free (and fabulous) things to do.

Taste Metro – authentic medieval feasts at a castle, soul food served at communal tables, meat-and-three-meets-tea-room fare, French, Caribbean, Cajun, Mediterranean, Cuban, Thai – did we mention American? Irish, Italian, Greek and Mexican. Asian, bistro, fast and fusion. Small plates, big tastes – a sampling of the world right in the Metro’s backyard.

Shop Metro – a boutique for dolls and specialty gift shops, art galleries and book nooks, antique shops that are gold mines and a gold mine with a museum store – right at the site of the first gold rush in Georgia at the Pine Mountain Gold Rush Museum. And serious Mall madness: Cumberland, North Point and Perimeter, Town Center, Town Place and Arbor Place, Phipps Plaza, Lenox Square and Discover Mills. Shopping of such significant proportions that it can’t be contained above ground but spreads Underground, too, with 100 shops and cart vendors on an historic six-block stretch beneath downtown Atlanta.

Plan Metro – a getaway to the Go Metro Atlanta communities: Adventure in the city; nature in a metropolis; an international restaurant landscape located a drive away; historic homes, gardens, museums, sports, music, theatre, beaches, parks, puppets, shopping, events, more.

Go Metro Atlanta – leave with lots of memories.
