The quintessential college town of Athens, Georgia is all about the Dawgs! Home to the University of Georgia, Athens bleeds red and black. Because the city is so student-friendly, it ranks amongst the most affordable cities in the country, and is considered one of the top college towns and best craft beer cities, according to Fortune Magazine.
Athens features the university’s beautiful campus, stunning architecture, historic monuments, and a close-knit community of students and faculty. Residents and visitors alike enjoy the State Botanical Garden of Georgia, the UGA Arboretum, the Georgia Museum of Art, and the one-and-only Sanford Stadium. Athens’ thriving downtown district is home to some of the best restaurants, bars, specialty shops, and boutiques in the state, like the famous Mama’s Boy off Oak Street. Whether you’re interested in sports, live music, modern art, literary history, craft beer, or top-notch cuisine, this historic city has you covered.
Craft beer is on the rise nationwide, but Athens helped start the trend in Georgia. Home to Creature Comforts, Terrapin Beer Co, Normaltown Brewing Co, Akademia Brewing Company, and the Southern Brewing Company, there’s no shortage of craft beer, live music, and good times for Athens residents. Although Athens is known for being a hip college town, you don’t have to be a student or faculty member to enjoy this lively city. City parks, supermarkets, shopping malls, public schools, golf courses, and cozy residential streets are beloved by Athens’ community.
