This week, buyers, manufacturers and tastemakers alike will descend on Atlanta for the International Gift & Home Furnishings Market at AmericasMart. Located right in downtown Atlanta, the market spreads across three buildings and lasts all day — even for the most seasoned marketgoer, it's a lot to cover.
We know you need a little down time while at market, so we rounded up the best places to unwind near AmericasMart. Check them out before you go.

Georgia Aquarium
There's something so relaxing about watching fish, dolphins and other marine animals glide through the water. Just half a mile from AmericasMart, the Georgia Aquarium houses all sorts sharks, manta rays, otters and all types of cool sea creatures. Learn more about them or just take some quiet time to watch them swim and recharge your own batteries before heading back to the market.

Centennial Olympic Park
Located just two blocks down from AmericasMart, Centennial Olympic Park is a green paradise in a steel jungle. Once the site of the 1996 summer olympics, the park now serves as the ultimate place to enjoy the outdoors while in downtown Atlanta. Stroll through the park, stretch your legs and stop by the fountain to cool down. Water shoots up from the ground so you don't have to worry about getting too wet.
