The college town of Decatur may only be four square miles, but it is crammed full of over 200 shops, art galleries and restaurants. After lectures, head to the critically acclaimed Leon’s Full Services for a meal, before checking out Eddie’s Attic, which has hosted live music acts like John Mayer and Indigo Girls in their early days. At the weekends, see the Georgia Aquarium, Wrens Nest House Museum or the World of Coca-Cola. Or perhaps seeing the great outdoors is your favorite pastime? Camp in the nearby Stone Mountain Park and wake up with 3,200 acres of beauty on your doorstep. Decatur is the perfect home away from home.
