Atlanta is gearing up for a massive summer of soccer (or futbol, depending on where you’re from), and if you’re traveling here for the matches, there’s one thing you need to know:


Atlanta’s food scene is just as exciting as the action on the pitch.


From globally inspired cuisine to award-winning chefs and creative street food, Atlanta is one of the most exciting food cities in the U.S., and experiencing its culinary scene is one of the best things to do in Atlanta while you’re here.


And with two bustling food halls and dozens of restaurants lining the trail, there's no better place to start than with a Food and Street Art Tour on the Atlanta Beltline.


Why Atlanta’s Food Scene Is So Amazing


Atlanta’s food scene is built on diversity, creativity, and deep cultural roots. This is a city where:


  • Southern classics meet modern twists

  • Immigrant communities shape bold, authentic flavors

  • Chefs aren’t afraid to experiment

  • Food tells the story of Atlanta’s past, present, and future


For visitors coming to Atlanta for soccer, food isn’t just something you fit in between matches—it’s part of the experience.

Atlanta Beltline: One of the Top Things to Do in Atlanta


First off, what is the Atlanta Beltline? Simply put, it's a walking, jogging and biking trail. But for Atlantans, it's way more than that - it’s the heartbeat of our city.


Once an old railway corridor, it’s now a buzzing trail that connects neighborhoods, restaurants, breweries, public art, and green space. On any given day, you’ll see locals walking dogs, artists at work, restaurant patios packed with people, and murals that stop you in your tracks.


It’s energetic. It’s creative. It’s unmistakably Atlanta.


If you only have a few days in town for soccer, the Beltline is the best way to experience the city like a local - and a must for anyone searching for fun things to do in Atlanta.
