Things to do in Athens
Athens is home to the University of Georgia, chartered in 1785 as the first state-chartered public university in the country, and the campus shapes nearly everything about the city. Research, healthcare and university business bring a constant flow of visiting faculty, parents, recruiters and donors, while the downtown that borders North Campus is full of restaurants, bars and music venues. Athens also has an outsized place in rock history as the town that produced R.E.M. and the B-52’s, and live music remains a nightly fixture.

The historic heart of the university is a shaded quadrangle of 19th-century buildings entered through the cast-iron Arch, which by tradition students do not walk under until they graduate.

Sanford Stadium
Home of the Georgia Bulldogs, the stadium is known for the privet hedges that line the field and for game-day crowds of more than 90,000 that turn Athens red and black.

The official state museum of art, on the university’s East Campus, holds American paintings, decorative arts and works on paper, with free admission and rotating exhibitions.
