Atlanta is big, green and spread out, and the City Guides help you make sense of it: which fried chicken and biscuits are worth the queue, how to group the sights so you are not stuck in traffic, where the music is on a weeknight and which waterfalls and mountain towns make a good day out. Every guide is a tight, opinionated list with the reason to go, what to order and a useful tip for each place, and it opens in your browser as soon as you have paid.

Three picks from the guides
Silver Skillet
14th St NW, Midtown
A Midtown diner from the 1950s where locals still line up for chicken biscuits, biscuits and gravy and hash browns. Small, quick and without fuss. From the food guide.
Oakland Cemetery
Edge of Grant Park, 248 Oakland Avenue SE
A Victorian garden cemetery close to downtown, resting place of Margaret Mitchell and golfer Bobby Jones, with the skyline in view from the hill. Wandering here costs nothing. From the things to do guide.
Tallulah Gorge State Park
1h45 north-east, Tallulah Falls
A canyon about 1,000 feet deep with a suspension bridge across the floor and a rim trail of lookouts that takes around an hour. Bring a little cash for parking. From the day trips guide.
Plan your days in Atlanta
Day one: start in Sweet Auburn at the Martin Luther King, Jr. National Historical Park, have lunch at the Municipal Market and finish with the skyline from Oakland Cemetery, all from the things to do and budget guides. Day two: brunch first, then walk the BeltLine Eastside Trail between Ponce City Market and Krog Street and spend the evening on Edgewood Avenue or in Decatur with the nightlife guide. Rainy or slow day: the family guide’s indoor ideas, from the puppets in Midtown to the dinosaurs at Fernbank, or, with a car and a dry sky, a waterfall in the north Georgia mountains from the day trips guide.
