During your time in Athens, take notice of these painted bulldogs around town. As a part of city pride, they sit in front of businesses all around Athens - each with a unique design!
The college students here know better than anyone - downtown Athens is where to go for a fun night out. The variety of restaurants, bars, and shops makes it a full experience. If you have a free night in Athens, we recommend going downtown and seeing where it takes you.
This is especially a suggestion to the Georgia Bulldogs fans coming into town. Athens is the home of the Dawgs and the UGA Arch is in the middle of downtown, so it is a must see if you are out and about. Be warned, though, there are superstitions that say you should not walk under it if you haven't graduated from college yet.
