With over 30,000 college students at the University of Georgia, Athens is often described as a college town, but there are so many other things to see besides college students here. Athens prides itself as being a center of research (via UGA) as well as a proponent of locally-owned shops, restaurants, music stores, coffee shops, bars, and clubs. There is something for every age in this city, whether you're looking for Ripley's Believe It or Not anomalies like The Tree That Owns Itself and the Double-Barreled Cannon or looking to stretch your legs and smell the flowers at the botanical gardens. Athens is sure to offer something for everyone in this city just 70 miles east of Atlanta.
