World-class restaurants.Fine Hotels.Sports. Art. Music.Shopping. Atlanta has them all, combined with a healthy serving of Southern-style hospitality.
Located in Georgia, in the southern part of the United States, Atlanta has had a long and sometimes turbulent history. Now, it is perhaps best known as one of the country’s main business centers, thanks to the presence of retail giants like Coca-Cola. But savvy travelers know to pack more than their business suits: this is a city with a serious amount of fun stuff to do.
Some of Atlanta’s highlights – the city has far too many attractions to list here – include sporting events (including pro hockey and baseball teams, racing, and college sports), no fewer than five theatres, and the world’s largest aquarium (it covers 9.5 acres and houses over 500 different species of animals). Stone Mountain Park, the area’s most visited attraction, has been called one of Georgia’s must-see natural wonders. And last but definitely not least is this city’s cutting-edge dining scene. Whether you are in the mood for soul food or a haute cuisine experience, Atlanta has something succulent to offer. Not to be missed are the area’s many ethnic restaurants, making Atlanta one of the top new destinations for travelling foodies.
Getting here is no problem, thanks to its massive airport, Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International (code ATL).Another plus is the climate: with wintertime highs in the 10’s and August averaging the low 30’s, weather conditions are generally mild. Add to this Atlanta’s friendly residents and a long list of activities for every taste and you have the makings for a memorable vacation.
