Things to do in Athens

Athens is home to the University of Georgia, chartered in 1785 as the first state-chartered public university in the country, and the campus shapes nearly everything about the city. Research, healthcare and university business bring a constant flow of visiting faculty, parents, recruiters and donors, while the downtown that borders North Campus is full of restaurants, bars and music venues. Athens also has an outsized place in rock history as the town that produced R.E.M. and the B-52’s, and live music remains a nightly fixture.

  1. 01

    University of Georgia North Campus

    The historic heart of the university is a shaded quadrangle of 19th-century buildings entered through the cast-iron Arch, which by tradition students do not walk under until they graduate.

  2. 02

    Sanford Stadium

    Home of the Georgia Bulldogs, the stadium is known for the privet hedges that line the field and for game-day crowds of more than 90,000 that turn Athens red and black.

  3. 03

    Georgia Museum of Art

    The official state museum of art, on the university’s East Campus, holds American paintings, decorative arts and works on paper, with free admission and rotating exhibitions.

  4. 04

    State Botanical Garden of Georgia

    South of campus, the garden includes themed gardens, a tropical conservatory and miles of wooded trails along the Middle Oconee River.

  5. 05

    Georgia Theatre

    A downtown landmark rebuilt after a 2009 fire, this historic theater hosts touring bands and local acts, with a rooftop bar overlooking Lumpkin Street.

  6. 06

    Downtown Athens

    The blocks facing North Campus are packed with independent restaurants, coffee shops, bookstores, bars and clubs, including the 40 Watt Club, a fixture of the local music scene for decades.
