Romantic Things to Do in Atlanta — 4 Hand-Picked Spots

Centennial Olympic Park

Downtown (Mercedes-Benz adjacent)

Free
Sunset
Cultural

The 1996 Olympics' 21-acre legacy. Fountain of Rings shoots at 9 PM. Eight minutes walking to Mercedes-Benz Stadium. ★WC.

Tip ★WC — 8 minutes walking to Mercedes-Benz Stadium. The 21-acre legacy of the 1996 Summer Olympics, opened as the centerpiece of the Games. The Fountain of Rings (the world's largest fountain incorporating the Olympic rings) shoots on a schedule four times a day — the 9 PM show in summer is the date. Bricks throughout the park bear donor names from the original Olympic fundraising. Surrounded by the Aquarium, World of Coca-Cola, College Football Hall of Fame, and CFNN Center — the densest tourist quarter in the South. ★WC match-day-base.

Terrace dining table overlooking a city skyline at dusk

Nikolai's Roof

Downtown (Hilton, 30th floor)

$$$
Evening
Food

30th floor of the Hilton since 1976. A vodka cart wheeled tableside, beef stroganoff, the full Atlanta sunset through the west window.

Tip Atlanta's longest-running fine-dining destination — opened 1976 on the 30th floor of the Atlanta Hilton with 360° city views. The Czarist-Russian theme is a curiosity — vodka flights from a chilled cart wheeled tableside (since opening), borscht with sour cream, beef stroganoff. The room is dark wood, white tablecloths, and a wall of windows facing west toward the airport sunset. Recently revitalized by the Hilton group — the menu modernized, the vodka cart preserved. Reservations on OpenTable, dressed up. The view alone is the date.

Ponce City Market brick facade against an overcast sky

Ponce City Market + Skyline Park

Old Fourth Ward

$$
Sunset
Food

The 1926 Sears warehouse, now Atlanta's flagship food hall. Skyline Park on the roof with a 1940s Ferris wheel and the stadium dome on the skyline.

Tip The 1926 Sears, Roebuck warehouse — once the largest brick building in the Southeast — converted in 2014 into Atlanta's flagship food hall + retail + offices + apartments. Hop's Chicken, Bellina Alimentari, Marrakesh, H&F Burger, Botiwalla. The Skyline Park up on the roof is the secret — a 1940s-style boardwalk with a Heyday Ferris wheel ($5), Skyline Skee-ball, and a 360° Atlanta view that includes the Mercedes-Benz stadium dome to the southwest. Sunset at 8:30 PM in summer with cocktails at 9 Mile Station rooftop is the move. The Eastside Trail BeltLine entry connects right outside.

Tree-lined Atlanta neighborhood street with parked cars

Virginia-Highland (Murphy's)

Northeast

$$
Daytime
Food

Murphy's fried chicken biscuit since 1981, Atkins Park since 1922 (oldest bar in Atlanta), the bungalow brunch neighborhood.

Tip V-Hi is the bungalow neighborhood between Piedmont Park and the BeltLine. Murphy's (since 1981) is the brunch institution — their fried chicken biscuit + house Bloody Mary has been the Sunday move for two generations. The Virginia Ave + N Highland intersection is the heart of the village; walkable, tree-lined, the kind of place Atlantans buy a house and never leave. Highland Inn (1927 boutique hotel) for staying over. Atkins Park (since 1922, oldest continuously-licensed bar in Atlanta) for the dark-wood whiskey moment. Brunch with V, after-hours with H (Highland Avenue proper).
