ATLAS forward detectors, ALFA and AFP, are described with a focus on their geometric acceptance. The main results of the total, elastic and inelastic cross sections measurements performed with the ATLAS/ALFA detectors are presented. Possibility of diffractive bremsstrahlung and exclusive pion-pair photoproduction studies with the data from ATLAS/ALFA are discussed. Finally, the advantage of using a proton tagging technique for a high-statistics data recorded by the AFP detectors in the precision measurements of anomalous gauge couplings and invisible objects is discussed.
