Visitor Tips

Essential advice for making the most of your Atlanta experience.

Atlanta summers are HOT (90°F+) and humid. Wear light clothing, sunscreen, and stay hydrated. Afternoon thunderstorms are common.

Bring a refillable water bottle. Many venues have water stations. Don't wait until you're thirsty — drink water constantly.

Atlanta is generally safe in tourist areas. Stay aware of your surroundings, especially at night. Use well-lit paths and rideshares.

Free WiFi available at most restaurants, hotels, and Centennial Olympic Park. Consider a local SIM card for international visitors.

Tipping is customary in the US. 18-20% at restaurants, $1-2 per drink at bars, $2-5 for rideshare drivers.

Arrive at the stadium 2+ hours early on match days. Traffic and security lines will be significant. Plan ahead!
