My kids are going to Atlanta, Georgia for 3 days and I'm looking for some information - mostly on which neighborhoods are safest and which they should stay away from. They'd like to book a hotel today so it's a little time sensitive. I just want to make sure they're in a safe neighborhood. I'm also concerned about the rioting I saw there earlier this week and I'm looking to find out if it's still going on or if that was just a one day thing. Any info is tremendously appreciated!

I’m visiting Atlanta now. I recommend staying near centennial park (there are lots of options here) since it’s walking distance to all the attractions. Definitely no rioting thst I’ve seen all week I’ve been here. How old are your kids ?

Thanks so much! They're high teens and low 20s. If you'd like to give me some more info, I'm all ears. Smile

I live here in Atlanta - why don't they book a hotel near Toco Hills so they're near the shuls, kosher restaurants, stores, etc and it's safe. I live in Dunwoody - that's another option. There are hotels near Perimeter Mall. As far as the riots...have not heard about them 🙈

Thanks for the great info. I'm so relieved to hear you haven't seen any rioting. It's hard to tell what's actually going on from watching the news. They were showing antifa rioting in downtown Atlanta. Is downtown unsafe in general? I just want to make sure they stay away from any bad neighborhoods.

When I’m a tourist I personally hate driving to the attractions. I like to stay as close as possible.

OP from my window I can see an embassy suites, Omni and aloft. But there are many more

Literally haven’t seen or heard of anything and I’m staying downtown

Thanks for the info, it really helped us plan their trip. I'm wondering if anyone would happen to know about the Coca Cola factory - I heard some drinks are kosher there and some aren't but how can they know which ones are and aren't?
