Midtown Atlanta packs more into a few walkable blocks than most cities do in a week. Art, green space, theater, and—yes—great tapas. Here’s how to plan your day.

Morning at the High

Start at the High Museum of Art, Atlanta’s landmark institution for modern and classical works. With rotating exhibitions and a striking white facade by Richard Meier, it’s a cultural must just steps from Colony Square.

Walk It Off in Piedmont Park

A 10-minute stroll brings you to Piedmont Park, the city’s signature green space. Cut through to the Atlanta Botanical Garden—it’s a living, breathing gallery of orchids, fountains, and tree-canopy walkways.

Catch a Show or a Film

Back near Colony Square, options abound. The Alliance Theatre stages award-winning productions year-round. If you’re after laughs, The Laughing Skull Lounge shares a building with IPIC Theater, where you can catch a film in a plush recliner with cocktails at your side. Or, head to the Center for Puppetry Arts—odd, delightful, and uniquely Atlanta.

Then, Tapas at Boqueria

Once the art’s been admired and the park explored, land at Boqueria Atlanta. Nestled in Colony Square, this Spanish tapas bar brings the spirit of Barcelona to Midtown Atlanta. Snack on crispy patatas bravas, sip sangría, and share paella in a desuaward-winning energy from lunch through late night.
