This is a place that is easy to get around. On the square, go to the chamber/tourism place and get the information packets. Skip the walking tour, it's not that great. But the shops and places to eat are neat. Just a quick warning...the shops don't open till 10:30 or noon on Friday.
There are a lot of great places to visit in the area as well.

Loved the town itself everyone friendly, but this is not a place to go unless you have extra money to spend on their city government, as they were ticketing out of town folks left and right.. A seat belt violation with tinted windows up at night!!!!!!!!

I have a ton a great friends that live in this small town and I go multiple times during the year. It's a wonderful place! It's beautiful, and fun, and there is always something to do to keep anyone of any age interested. It's definatly worth the trip!

My wife and I visit this small town on a regular basis, and we always find something new. It is very close to other attracts and has alot of down home southern personality.
Great for a family outing or a romantic get a way.

We panned for gold! my 12 year old granddaughter ...

Lots of entertainment for kids. Hospital was needed and appreciated. Good staff.

Dahlonega is not a huge town - most of the town attractions are in the town square. There's a small variety of local crafts people making jewelry, pottery, traditional and folk art, etc, as well as a couple of smaller restaurants and a gold museum.
