Locate in the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains, Helen is a charming town in Georgia. We spent a day wandering the quaint town’s half-timbered storefronts and restaurants and sampling a few of the things to do in Helen, GA. With a big Bavarian influence, Helen looks like a German village and easy to fall in love with whether you are here for a long weekend or just a few hours!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We were visiting family in Atlanta <\/a>and Helen, they mentioned was one of their favorite places. So we decided on the easy drive north from Atlanta, even though it was a little early in the season. Summer is the best time if you want to go water tubing or zip through the mountains on an alpine coaster or zipline. But Helen offers plenty of things to do year round, we enjoyed strolling the downtown area, stopping at the cute shops, eating some schnitzel, and apple strudel. We even managed a short hike to a lovely waterfall, nearby! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
