I love Atlanta but hate the traffic. When I want to explore Georgia around Atlanta and not have to deal with horns and crazy people cutting me off, there are amazing smaller cities nearby. Here are a few of my favorites, chosen because they have fewer crowds and less traffic and include a mix of activities and attractions that appeal to many ages and tastes. I visited these places on sponsored press trips but the opinions are mine alone.
Pro Tip: You don’t save time or encounter less traffic taking the bypasses around Atlanta. They have built up so much that traffic is worse on them. Tough it out and go straight through.
