2017 >>

WHAT’S NEW?

Major League Baseball’s Atlanta Braves moved into the new SunTrust Park. Located 10 miles north of Downtown, the stadium seats approximately 41,500 fans in an intimate seating configuration, placing more fans closer to the field than at any other MLB ballpark. Surrounding the stadium, The Battery — a $400 million entertainment complex — features the Coca-Cola Roxy and, in 2018, Omni Hotel at The Battery Atlanta will open with 260 rooms.

The $1.6 billion MercedesBenz Stadium in downtown Atlanta welcomed the Atlanta Falcons for the 2017 NFL season and the new Atlanta United FC, the 22nd franchise team in Major League Soccer, which also kicked off in 2017. The retractable-roof stadium has seating for 71,000 with expansion capabilities up to 75,000 for the 2019 Super Bowl LIII and up to 83,000 when hosting the 2020 NCAA Final Four. A Hard Rock Hotel will be built nearby as well.

2018 >> In early 2018, The Fox Theatre will complete its most significant expansion since opening in 1929. The theater’s former jazz club will be converted into the Marquee Club, a 10,000 square-foot renovation. The Moroccan-style lounge will offer enhanced food and beverage offerings. Access is permitted on an event-by-event basis.

The Atlanta Cyclorama will reopen in a custom-built annex at the Atlanta History Center. The 23,000-square-foot addition is planned for the northeast corner of the campus. The Center intends to restore the 49-foot-tall and 371-foot-circumference painting to its full size and overall height, resulting in a total of 3,268 square feet.

Philips Arena will undergo renovation to create a 360-degree connected concourse, improved sightlines and state-of-the-art video capabilities. The arena serves as the home of the NBA Atlanta Hawks and WNBA Atlanta Dream.

With new places to go and more scheduled to open in the next two years, you’ll never run out of things to do in Atlanta. Here’s a preview of our new landscape: After the Cyclorama relocated to Atlanta History Center, its former building was transferred to Zoo Atlanta. The venue is being developed into a unique event and community space that will overlook the zoo’s African savanna exhibit. Once renovations are complete, the zoo will feature a new entryway plaza and a state-of-the art African elephant exhibit. In early fall 2017, visible project progress began in the form of construction fencing and windscreens in front of and behind the Cyclorama building, which will debut in 2019 as Savanna Hall.

The new Twisted Cyclone Hybrid Coaster at Six Flags Over Georgia will combine an old school feel with a wooden structure and the heart-racing adrenaline punch of a shiny new steel track. Fly parallel to the ground and experience a 360-degree zero gravity roll in this sleek thrill ride.

The Alliance Theatre Company announced plans for renovations which started in the summer of 2017 that include a transformation of the CocaCola Stage and rehearsal, and artist support spaces. The renovation will provide improved acoustics, more comfortable seating, improved special needs access, lighting and audio upgrades, and more dressing room and green room spaces.

ON THE HORIZON >> Centennial Olympic Park began its $27 million renovation and will receive several upgrades to the 21-acres which served as the centerpiece for the 1996 Summer Olympic Games. The project includes the addition of a pedestrian gateway, additional parking space, and a multi-use operations building. The park’s entrances will be upgraded and the amphitheater seating will be expanded by 800 seats.

The Maynard H. Jackson Jr. International Terminal, America’s global gateway, was designed with comfort in mind. State-of-the-art facilities, world-class concessions and no baggage recheck are just a few of the amenities.

and are located in the economy lots. • Because Atlanta-bound international passengers cannot access secured areas of the airport after they pick up their luggage at the international terminal, the airport has free, 24-houra-day shuttles. Passengers then can access the domestic terminal, parking areas and MARTA train service. • Free shuttle ride takes passengers to the rental car center, which houses all rental car transaction counters and vehicles. • The rental car center houses all operations of the 13 rental car companies that serve the airport. It is connected with the domestic terminal via the ATL SkyTrain, which also has a stop at the Georgia International Convention Center.

ATLANTA CITYPASS Big Savings on Top Attractions Atlanta CityPASS saves travelers nearly half off combined admission to several of Atlanta’s top attractions, including the Georgia Aquarium, World of Coca-Cola, CNN Studio Tours, Fernbank Museum of Natural History or College Football Hall of Fame and Chick-fil-A Fan Experience, Zoo Atlanta or Center for Civil and Human Rights. CityPASS ticket booklets save time, allowing visitors to skip most

main-entrance ticket lines. The booklets have a nine-day validity period and allow users to choose from five of the seven offered attractions. Many CityPASS tickets include more than just admission to the respective attractions. Purchase Atlanta CityPASS ticket booklets at all participating attractions or online at Atlanta.net/CityPASS, where you can find current pricing.

Once a Civil War battleground, the area has transformed into a quirky, close-knit community. Eclectic clothing shops, pubs and restaurants line the pedestrian-friendly streets. Music venues stage great live bands most nights of the week, making the area a hot spot for nightlife.

Many James Beard Award-nominated restaurants and chefs are located in this area, as well as the Atlanta University Center.

ATLANTA BELTLINE EASTSIDE TRAIL TOUR As most locals have discovered, the Atlanta BeltLine is one of the coolest things about Atlanta, and it’s not hard to navigate. Here is a suggested itinerary to guide you on your travels, whether you walk, hike, bike or jog.

DAY 1 BREAKFAST

Amy Sinclair

Little Tart Bakeshop inside Krog Street Market A renovated 1920s warehouse and the former home of Tyler Perry Studios, Krog Street Market is one of Atlanta’s culinary meccas. Southern-grown restaurants fill the market from the likes of James Beard semifinalist Ford Fry. Retail stalls specializing in high-quality housewares, jewelry, chocolate and flowers round out a complete market experience. Rising from Atlanta farmers markets, Little Tart Bakeshop utilizes local ingredients to serve pastries and coffees. Little Tart opened a Krog Street Market stall in 2014 and works with local farmers, jam makers, beekeepers and cheesemakers to serve Atlanta patrons.

Skyline Park at Ponce City Market

Walk the Atlanta BeltLine Eastside Trail Walk from Krog Street Market to Ponce City Market. Visionary Ryan Gravel first conceptualized the Atlanta BeltLine during his studies at Georgia Tech. The Atlanta BeltLine Eastside Trail is part of a larger project that will transform 22-miles of historic rail segments into parks, green space and transit around Atlanta. Take a walk through this two-mile segment to discover what makes this project so impactful, and see art commissioned by local artists, as well as the Historic Fourth Ward Skatepark.
