The vibe comes from a robust visual and performing arts scene, live music almost every night of the week, amazing food and beverage offerings, innovative creators and more. Athens is home to the state's official museum of art and official botanical garden, as well as the Athens Beer Trail and acclaimed music venues like the Georgia Theatre and 40 Watt Club. Step across Broad Street onto the University of Georgia's historic North Campus and you'll be stepping back over two centuries to the birthplace of public higher education in America, with some of the oldest and grandest architecture in the region.
