As the state\u2019s oldest town, it\u2019s walkable and brims with lovely public parks and elegant antebellum architecture. Tybee Island, the city\u2019s beach, is a getaway on its own. Just four hours from Atlanta, Savannah is a place where you can feast on delicious food, socialize in a local tavern, soak up tons of history, and experience the best of Southern hospitality. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Blue Ridge, GA<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>With its breathtaking vistas and artistic\ncommunity, this quaint mountain town in North Georgia is a favorite Atlanta getaway.\nSituated about 90 miles north of the city, Blue Ridge is one of the state\u2019s top\nareas for hiking and enjoying the great outdoors. For less adventurous\ntravelers, downtown offers a parade of shops. Stop by Das Kaffee Haus for a cup\nof Joe before browsing Blue Ridge Cotton Company, Huck\u2019s General Store and Blue\nRidge Mountain Mall. Finish off with something sweet at Chocolate Express.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cubesmart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Jekyll-island.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-15536\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Jekyll Island<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Golden Isles, GA<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Hugging the Atlantic Coast between Savannah and\nJacksonville, FL, Georgia\u2019s Golden Isles consist of Brunswick, St. Simons\nIsland, Sea Island, Little St. Simons Island, and Jekyll Island. Popular\nvacation spots for Atlanta residents, the Golden Isles are known for beautiful\nbeaches, vast marshlands, and activities such as horseback riding, biking,\ngolfing, not to mention a rich, southern heritage. The port town of Brunswick\nfeatures stately Victorian homes and the cherished \u201cLover\u2019s Oak,\u201d a\ncenturies-old oak tree dating back to 1787.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Callaway Gardens, GA<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Set about 60 minutes from Atlanta, Callaway\nGardens is a golf course and resort, proving to be a relaxing getaway from Atlanta.\nEscape for a spa weekend with the girls, a golfing outing with the guys, or a\nromantic rendezvous with that special someone. Callaway offers zip lining,\nhiking, and geocaching for more active travelers, and plenty of fun things to\ndo for the kids, making it a family-friendly choice as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Charleston, SC<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Some may say that Savannah\u2019s rival is\nCharleston, but this South Carolina city holds its own in terms of gorgeous\narchitecture and alluring gardens. Even though the travel time is about five\nhours, the extra car time is worth it to experience the city\u2019s burgeoning\nrestaurant scene and elegant, European feel. The historic French Quarter and\nCharleston Battery, overlooking the harbor, are two of the oldest (and\nprettiest) parts, known for cobbled streets and horse-drawn carriages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Hilton Head, SC<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This town is an island in South Carolina\u2019s\nLowcountry, just 20 miles from Savannah. With 12 miles of pristine beaches and\nendless opportunities to golf, bike, and parasail, Hilton Head is an ideal\nchoice for a summer vacation near Atlanta. Considering the coastal location,\nit\u2019s no surprise that Hilton Head restaurants cook up some fantastic fish.\nHudson\u2019s Seafood House on the Dock, The Crazy Crab, and Fishcamp on Broadcreek\nare just a few of Hilton Head\u2019s go-to eateries serving fresh seafood. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cubesmart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/biltmore-asheville.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-15537\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Biltmore Estate<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Asheville, NC<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Famous for its thriving arts community, this\nNorth Carolina town sits in the picturesque Blue Ridge Mountains and only four\nhours from Atlanta. Dubbed the \u201cNapa Valley of Beer\u201d by NPR, Asheville provides\nthe quintessential craft beer drinking experience with the opportunity to taste\nmore than 50 local brews. Design and nature lovers should dedicate an afternoon\nto touring the Biltmore Estate, a Gilded Age Mansion and the largest privately\nowned home in the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Highlands, NC<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Ringed by the Nantahala National Forest,\nHighlands is a short two-hour drive from&nbsp;\nAtlanta. While any time of year is a good time to visit, fall brings\nstunning autumn colors and leaf peeping, and summer shows off the area\u2019s lush\ngreen foliage. Nature lovers appreciate the cascading waterfalls, and hiking\ntrails and culture enthusiasts adore the spree of indie shops in this small\nmountain town. Great food is no stranger either, so be prepared to eat if you\nchoose Highlands as a weekend getaway from Atlanta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Birmingham, AL<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For city slickers looking for a slower pace,\nneighboring Alabama offers Birmingham, also called \u201cThe Magic City.\u201d The Barber\nVintage Motorsports Museum and the Birmingham Civil Rights Institute are two of\nthe town\u2019s biggest draws, but there\u2019s plenty more to see and do. The\naward-winning Railroad Park is a haven boasting a large lake and birch grove,\nand Vulcan Trail, a mile-long trail shows off views of the downtown skyline. All\nthis, and then there\u2019s the food. The Most Outstanding Restaurant in America\ntitle went to Highlands Bar &amp; Grill, one of many excellent places to dine\nin Birmingham.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cubesmart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/chattanooga.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-15538\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Chattanooga, TN<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Minutes from the Georgia Border, this Tennessee\ntown is a quick and easy weekend escape.
