The Experience

Before You Go

Expect short urban walks

Most stops require 5–15 minute walks on sidewalks or through parks—wear comfortable shoes and be ready for curbs and uneven pavement.

Bring water and sun protection

Atlanta heat can spike quickly in summer—carry water, sunscreen, and a hat to stay comfortable between vehicle transfers.

Respect private property

Some filming locations sit on or near private land; follow your guide’s instructions and avoid trespassing for photos.

Charge your camera or phone

You’ll want photos at multiple stops and limited time at each location—fully charge devices and bring a small power bank.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Ponce City Market rooftop view near the Jackson Street Bridge for skyline photos
  • Quiet corners of Grant Park where you can compare the real park to on-screen scenes

Wildlife

  • Eastern gray squirrels
  • Red-tailed hawks often seen over parks

Conservation Note

Many stops are in public parks—stick to paths, avoid trampling vegetation, and pack out trash; supporting local businesses helps maintain neighborhoods used as filming sites.

Atlanta’s film industry expanded in the 2000s thanks to state tax incentives and diverse urban locations, making it a go-to production hub for TV and movies.
