Atlanta: The Don'ts of Visiting Atlanta

Atlanta, the hub of the southeast US has a lot of incredible restaurants, museums, history, and people. Here we go through tourist information for Atlanta. We focus on what tourists should not do when they visit Atlanta. Whether you are going to a Hawks, Braves, or Falcons game (or their favorite soccer team Atlanta FC), visiting the High Museum of Art in Midtown or just visiting Zoo Atlanta you should always have your southern manners on and don't forget to grab a Coke while you are there at the World of Coca Cola.

Grab Wolters World Merchandise & Travel Gear at

Our Gear:
We travel with a Microsoft Surface everywhere we go. I edit my videos on it & use it to backup my pictures and vides while we travel. It’s light and the best travel laptop on the market in my opinion.

We use Sony Alpha series cameras to film our videos. They are compact so you don’t look like a super tourist when you take great pictures and videos while you travel.

We use Manfrotto Tripods. They are compact, travel well, and honestly I would not use another tripod for my nice cameras.

Travel Plug that works in pretty much any country & has four USB ports. A must for any traveler.

Want to grab some great gear? We have used Osprey Packs for years & swear by them. Check them out here

Need some clothing for your next adventure? Patagonia has some pretty good stuff for all kinds of travelers.

Me (talking to fiancee) : Do you know what time it is?
Her: 10:38
Me: No! Do you know what time it is?!
Her: Wolters World?
Mark: Hey there, fellow travelers!

Also, beer protip: the only beer you need to be drinking in Georgia is Tropicalia.

If you can drive in Atlanta, you can drive anywhere! You gotta have nerves of steel!

[meepmoopmeep]

The people here in Atlanta are the nicest ever—until they get in a car 🤣 I’ve lived in several states and I’ve never seen such aggressive drivers

[annabattaglia]

I love how he makes midtown and buckhead seem super far away

[TheZwells]

DO drive at least the speed limit!

DON'T drive the speed limit in the fast lane!

[jakeglenn]

Don't forget Dekalb Farmers Market ! Very unique.

[samm]

DONT: Get in the fast lane if you aren’t prepared to go 90+

[austina.duncan]

Me: from Atlanta
Also Me:"what the hell is he talking about"

[noonereallymattersbutcats]

We drive fast in ATL shawty, 8 full lanes of traffic and we all trying to go 80 mph

[jennysue]

I’ve lived in Georgia my whole life and driving in Atlanta still makes me nervous, lol! It is a fantastic city though, so fun to visit! Southern hospitality is a real thing!

[anthonylamesa]

The city is an extremely dangerous place to be a pedestrian. Don't zone out when walking or crossing intersections.

As a native Atlantan (yes, there are some of those; not everyone is from somewhere else originally), this video is pretty spot on. To give some context, Buckhead is north of uptown, but you CAN take MARTA there if you want! You just may need to do some walking and/or Uber/Lyft to where specifically you want to go.

Important note about MARTA: If you take the train, make sure you know what line you need to take to get to your destination. Two lines run north-south: Red and Gold. Red goes from the Airport to North Springs (heads mainly north to Buckhead, Dunwoody, Sandy Springs). Gold goes from the Airport and eventually heads northeast after Lindbergh Station to Lenox (Mall), Chamblee all the way to Doraville (near something natives call "Spaghetti Junction." Basically, that's where Interstates 285 and 85 come together on the northeast side).

Best times to visit? Typically, March-mid May (remember your allergy medicine) and late September-November. Late May-early September...it is hot and HUMID. Always humid during the summer. You will sweat A LOT. A/C will become your best friend. If you want to be outside during the summer months and haven't been, I highly recommend White Water, a water park off I-75 in Marietta (NW of Atlanta). It's very fun and a great way to cool off. It can be expensive to get in, but if you plan on visiting two or more times, buy a season pass. Pays for itself on two visits. A great thing for families with children of all ages. You will need a car to get there, though.

Born and raised here, I love Atlanta and I would not trade my hometown city with any other. Come visit, eat, drink, have a great time and take in all you can. So much history and culture here. Great job on the video, Mark!

As someone who lives in Atlanta I think this video was great! Definitely agree with everything in it. I’d also add a couple things I haven’t seen other people mention:
1) the beltline was briefly touched on in this video but it’s absolutely one of the must do things if you’re visiting atlanta and have some time. If you walk down it there are great views of the city and great bars and restaurants to stop at. Usually events too
2) Piedmont park/botanical garden - also great views of the city, always events going on, and generally pretty.
3) restaurants - he definitely touched on the most famous/touristy restaurants here but I think there are better. Atlanta magazine puts out a list of the best restaurants and it doesn’t miss. Don’t be afraid to drive a little farther to go to one bc it will be worth it

[lynnwood]

Where you are standing is where I come out of the parking garage every day. My office window faces the Mercedes Benz Stadium. Thank you for emphasizing the severity of the traffic downtown for tourists. It’s awful for us and we sort of know what we’re doing! Would loved to see you and the family while you were here. Love your honesty and humor!

[MrGamerTH]

don't forget to listen to Outkast ATLiens and all that southern drawl while you're cruisin with your Cadillac

[thegreaterone]

Worst allergy city in the country if you suffer from allergies please bring medicine

[stacyhoffman]

HOLY COW! My husband and I are visiting Atlanta (just for a day or two) in 3 weeks and I was looking for some suggestions. Then this notification popped up! Always check your channel before traveling! THIS IS PERFECT TIMING!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!

[joshtattooer]

Hearing you pronounce Marta let’s me know you definitely aren’t from here lol. Also it’s belt line. Not belt way.

[emgmin]

As a native Atlantan, I approve this message. It is so incredibly accurate. I'm wondering how you got some of this information! 🤣😂 I've seen other videos from so called "natives" and they don't even get it right. Well done!

Thank you for the don't on "hotlanta" it's the most cringe thing, we hate it. And a major tell that you're a tourist.

Well done sir!

[deseancollins]

Don’t get lost in Fulton industrial at night. Don’t pay for parking unless it is with a machine
