Welcome to Heartland of Georgia

Welcome to the heart of Georgia and, some would say, the heart of the South! Home to the University of Georgia, the galleries, shopping and nightlife of Athens serve as the perfect introduction to Southern hospitality. Travel further south to Juliette, the filming location of the classic Southern film, Fried Green Tomatoes, to eat some actual fried green tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe! Then, explore the South’s musical heritage in the city of Macon. See musical artifacts at The Allman Brothers Band Museum before taking in a show at the Grand Opera House. An evening stroll during the Lights on Macon Illumination Tour, featuring historic homes lit-up to showcase their Antebellum architectural features, is the ideal way to end your tour of Georgia’s Heartland!
