Jackson Street Bridge offers one of the most iconic views of the Atlanta skyline, especially at sunrise and sunset when the city lights glow against the horizon. Perched above Freedom Parkway, this pedestrian-friendly bridge has become a favorite spot for photographers, locals, and visitors looking for the perfect panoramic shot.

The bridge gained international fame as a filming location for The Walking Dead, featured in the show’s opening sequence with Rick Grimes riding toward a deserted city. While the real-life view is far from apocalyptic, the backdrop remains one of Atlanta’s most photographed spots.

Whether you’re here for the cinematic history, a golden-hour skyline photo, or just a quiet moment overlooking the city, this small but unforgettable stop is one of Atlanta’s most breathtaking vantage points.
