Atlanta’s signature skyline lookout, made famous by film and countless sunsets. Recommended by Discover Atlanta and chronicled by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, it’s a simple, free stop with a big payoff—especially at golden hour.

One of the best skyline views in ATL! 🌆 The Jackson Street Bridge is iconic — not just for its stunning city backdrop, but also for fans of The Walking Dead, who’ll recognize it from the show’s early scenes. Grab a pic, enjoy the view, and feel a little cinematic. 👣

Very nice spot for a scenic view or picture. Sidewalks on both sides for pedestrians and a two lane road across for vehicles traffic. Also, a large bike lane. This was great for sunset pictures of the big city. Looks like a popular place at sunset too!

This bridge is a much of Atlanta then anything I can think of . Homage to MLK is within walking distance. Parks are all around the place. It’s just a wonderful spot. It’s difficult to get the skyline of Atlanta because of all the foliage you know the city in the forest yeah we like that.

That famous spot from The Walking Dead when Rick starts meandering around with the horse (RIP horse). Lots of graffiti and trash and judging by the smell, it’s a local gem for a #1 🤢

If you want an iconic shot of the ATL, this is one of the best possible choices! There’s just enough space to park on the north side of the overpass but put on your emergency blinkers! Expect some other people to be there trying to take photos, keep it friendly and respectful of the neighborhood 👍.

Pretty easy to get to. This is where the opening scene of The Walking Dead is filmed. Lovely view of the skyline from here. You can get nice light trail photos at night with long exposures.
