Welcome to Athens, Georgia

Dominated by the University of Georgia, Athens' late-night scene is quite robust for a city of its size. Check out 40 Watt Club, where a number of nationally renowned bands have played or The Georgia Theatre, a much larger live music venue. Also a city with a firm place in history, you can see unusual historical landmarks such as the tree that owns itself and a failed Civil War-era invention, the double-barreled cannon.
