Detailed itinerary

Towering above Atlanta's floodwaters in Season 1, this steel behemoth served as Rick Grimes's dramatic entrance into a zombie-infested city, setting the stage for the show's post-apocalyptic world.

Stop 2

Once a symbol of government and order, the bullet-ridden dome of the Capitol in Season 9 transformed into the menacing headquarters of the ruthless Whisperers, signifying the societal breakdown and rise of new, brutal authority.

Amidst the lush greenery of this Atlanta park, Rick and Morgan Jones established their early communities in Season 1, highlighting the hope and resilience of survivors seeking haven and rebuilding a semblance of normalcy.

This unassuming metal scrapyard in Season 4 doubled as the notorious Terminus, a cannibalistic community luring desperate survivors with false promises of safety, showcasing the deceptive dangers lurking beneath the surface of apparent hospitality.

In Season 1, this opulent performing arts center masqueraded as the bustling Centers for Disease Control, drawing Rick and his group towards a potentially fatal trap, emphasizing the constant uncertainty and hidden agendas in the fight for survival.
