Why go
This Midtown route suits visitors who like to mix city history, green space and art. Begin with the Margaret Mitchell House’s current exhibition, then walk toward Piedmont Park for a change of pace before spending a longer stretch in the Atlanta Botanical Garden. Finish at the High Museum, where the collections and buildings reward an unhurried visit. The park is the flexible middle of the day: shorten that walk if you want more time indoors. Check garden notices before visiting, since parts of its grounds can close temporarily.
