Nature and Parks in Atlanta

"Yep, it’s a cemetery, but its verdant gardens and hilltop views of the downtown skyline make for a lovely green space. Also, Oakland Cemetery’s ever-changing events and tours are more fun than you might imagine for a historic graveyard: music festivals, illuminated art exhibitions, flashlight tours. Most popular are the spooky after-dark Halloween tours in the month of October. After you’ve toured the gravesites — don’t forget Gone With the Wind author Margaret Mitchell’s — head across the street for pancakes at Ria’s Bluebird or a shrimp basket at Six Feet Under Pub & Fish House. There’s no fee to enter the cemetery, but tours and events require ticket purchase." - MATADOR_NETWORK
