AMC's "The Walking Dead" (starring fan favorite Norman Reedus) remains one of the most popular shows on TV. Fans are traveling to Georgia to see locations used in the hit AMC series.

'Walking Dead' in real life —
The view of downtown Atlanta from the roof of the unoccupied Norfolk Southern Building plays a big role in season one of the show.

Lonely ride —
The Nelson Street Bridge passes under the Norfolk Southern Building in downtown Atlanta. Early in season one, Rick Grimes (played by Andrew Lincoln) rode over the bridge on horseback as he sought refuge in Atlanta. The Norfolk Southern Building's rooftop, right, was the setting of a department store roof where Glenn and his crew were holed up ...

Breaking down doors —
... hiding out from these guys. This shot and the interior scenes were filmed down the street in another building.

Zombies keep out —
A fictional department store's logo is still on the doors of a building on Mitchell Street in downtown Atlanta. But that relic of the show probably won't last much longer.

A grim awakening —
Rick's rude introduction to the post-apocalyptic world took place at this "hospital."

Sunnier times —
The building is actually part of the Atlanta Mission offices on Bolton Road on the westside of Atlanta. During a recent "Big Zombie" tour, three fans from Tennessee posed for a snapshot on the steps that Rick took out of the hospital.

Quest for a cure —
Hopes were high for a medical breakthrough at the "CDC" at the end of season one.

A performance venue's role —
The Cobb Energy Performing Arts Centre north of Atlanta stands in for the CDC in the episode.

Woodbury refuge? —
By season three, the action has moved to the fictional town of Woodbury.

Welcome to Senoia —
The picturesque town of Senoia, Georgia, stands in for Woodbury. It's the center of "The Walking Dead" tourism in Coweta County.

Walker arena —
Michonne (Danai Gurira) slays a group of walkers at a makeshift arena in season three.

Industrial sets —
Fans from Indianapolis, Mary and Eric Kolodziej, check out the arena, which is actually a facility owned by water tank manufacturer Caldwell Tanks in Newnan, Georgia.

Straight shooting —
The fighting is fierce between Daryl Dixon (Norman Reedus, pictured), his brother Merle (Michael Rooker) and the Governor (David Morrissey) at this rusted mill featured in season three.

A more tranquil scene —
The action unfolded at the old Esco Feed Mill in Haralson, Georgia.

Explosive end —
Some of "The Walking Dead's" most recent action took place at Terminus.

Returning to real life —
The distinctive letters on the building, south of downtown Atlanta, have been painted over.
