Top 10 Things To Do, Activities and Attractions in Douglasville

"The Center for Civil and Human Rights is a powerful, moving museum that ties the Civil Rights movement of the 1950s and 1960s with the today's global Human Rights movement. Visitors can tour a number of permanent and temporary exhibits, including the Morehouse College collection of MLK memorabilia, an interactive gallery of the Civil Rights Movement and a human rights exhibit that encourages onlookers to identify with modern-day activists around the globe who are being persecuted in their own countries. Expect to see emotionally raw images and portrayals at this new Atlanta attraction, watching, seeing, hearing and interacting with history in an intimate and modern setting."

"Inaugurated in 2014, the National Center for Civil and Human Rights has quickly become one of Atlanta’s essential experiences. The museum champions the struggles and achievements of the civil rights movement in the 1950s and 60s, and shows how that period still resonates in contemporary events. There are some spine-tingling exhibits relating the Jim Crow era at “Rolls Down Like Water”, like a recreated lunch counter sit-in with earphones simulating the taunts and threats that were directed at activists."

"On this tour, learn about the city’s history and architecture with a stop at the beautiful 1928 Swan House and a visit to either the Margaret Mitchell House, the governor’s mansion, or the Rhodes Hall. Details of the tour depend on the day of the week and other details, but with three historic homes and two famous neighborhoods, you will learn more about Atlanta than on any other city tour."

"Can you believe this beautiful estate is located in the heart of Atlanta?. Swan House was built in 1928 for Edward and Emily Inman, an affluent Atlanta family, and a great example of the Second Renaissance Revival style that was popular in the late 1920s. The grounds are also absolutely stunning with fountains, sculptures, and lush greenery."

"One of the newest additions to Atlanta's downtown landscape, Mercedes-Benz Stadium is the home of the Atlanta Falcons and the Atlanta United FC. Completed in 2017, the stadium replaced the Georgia Dome, which opened in 1992. The new stadium's eight panel, retractable roof is designed to look like bird's wings when fully extended and its video board is the world's largest. Continue to 5 of 9 below."

"Moreover, it is surrounded by many of Atlanta’s most famous landmarks, such as the College Football Hall of Fame, the Georgia World Congress Center, the Mercedes-Benz Stadium, the Georgia Aquarium, and many others. Centennial Olympic Park, Author: David Brooks, Source: Flickr"

"A small neighbourhood diner old style with large portions, great flavors, good prices and excellent and friendly service. I will defenitelly come…"

This specific diner holds a special place in my heart, and it's not just because of the amount of neon lights strung along the walls. Not only do they serve grade-A diner food 24/7, but every day they have late night karaoke."

"Metro Cafe Diner opened in downtown Atlanta’s Peachtree Center in 2006. This is where to head for all-day breakfast fare, wings, classic burgers, and even baby back ribs and platters of spaghetti. There’s a live DJ and karaoke every night beginning at 8 p.m."

"Thomas had a theme, which it technically doesn't, it would fall somewhere in the tropical birds-meet-somewhat crunchy enclosed patio-with-quinoa category. This Peachtree Road institution is decorated with neon lights, plenty or tchotchkis to keep the kiddos entertained, caged, tropical birds, and it's all in a somewhat permanent shed-type lean-to on the border of Buckhead and Midtown. With a huge menu (and seriously—tons of good, healthy options), this spot just works."

"Besides the fact that this quirky little café looks like a tropical rainforest, complete with parrots, on the outside, it’s its unique arrangement of vegan and vegetarian options that bring the crowds in. R.Thomas was created by chef Richard Thomas and has become an Atlanta mainstay on the veggie scene. It’s easy to see why with its delicious, giant meals including a Sausage Queen Omelette, a Thia Quinoa Bowl, and a Sloppy Veggie Joe."

"What started as a coffee cart concept making appearances around town evolved into an Atlanta dining institution. Founded by Stacy Eames, Highland Bakery has several outposts around town but the original location in the Old Fourth Ward remains an Atlanta brunch favorite. Popular items here include the shrimp and grits served with jalapeño focaccia bread, one of the creative eggs Benedict, and the sweet potato pancakes for those with a sweet side."

"The Highland Bakery all started when it’s owner Stacy started thinking about coffee. After seeing success from several coffee carts around the city and teaching Atlantans about what genuinely good coffee is all about, Stacy started thinking about muffins, breads, and eventually what Southern comfort was all about. From there, the Highland Bakery was born."

"When it comes to popular Atlanta brunch spots, Highland Bakery & Kitchen often tops the list. This bustling European-style breakfast bakery and brunch spot is known for its exceptional bread, tarts, pancakes, and french toast. We love their epic cilantro corn cakes, decadent crabcake benedict, and delightful jalapeño focaccia bread— all signature items."

"This Westview neighborhood cafe, owned by Devotis Lee (aka Ms. D) and her family, serves up hearty breakfast favorites in the morning. The menu includes Ms. D’s popular chicken and waffles topped with fried chicken wings and the fluffy Piedmont pancake stack served with a side of eggs and bacon."

"Located in the Fairlie-Poplar District, Café Lucia is a cozy coffee shop that serves authentic Dutch Coffee and freshly baked tasty treats in a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The café is committed to serving top-quality coffee prepared through careful brewing processes, along with a range of other libations such as craft beers, casual wines, handcrafted cocktails, fresh fruit juices, and soft drinks. The café offers full breakfast and lunch menus, along sweet pastries, cakes, and other sweet treats all day."

"One of Atlanta’s classic recipients for laudatory fanfare through the past few decades is Café Intermezzo. Since 1979, the Euro-style establishment caters to a diverse crowd. Bar, coffeehouse, pastry bakery, dessert haven, many visitors choose Intermezzo to meet their highly nuanced range of preferences."

"Modeled after the cafes of Europe, Cafe Intermezzo brings you to Vienna with its European-style coffee, desserts, and late-night bites. Their sweet and savory crepes, breakfast dishes, and selection of more than 70 cakes and pastries are all well..."

"Café Intermezzo exudes a Venetian ambiance and is much loved by the locals. The crowded cafe serves a delectable and long list of delicacies. Loyal patrons swear by their espresso, cakes, pastries, and cocktails."
