About Atlanta
Capital Of the South
Attractions

As the "New Capital of the South," Atlanta has more to offer than Southern hospitality. With fine dining, museums, theater, attractions and world-class shopping, Atlanta has something for everyone.

When the show comes to an end for the day, why not enjoy a performance of the Atlanta Ballet, tour the Georgia Dome or the CNN News Studio, visit Fernbank Museum, catch a concert at the Fox Theatre, view extraordinary exhibits at the High Museum of Art, learn about America's favorite soft drink at the World of Coca-Cola or visit the Pandas at Zoo Atlanta? Sports fans will really enjoy the Atlanta action, from Braves baseball and Falcons football to the Atlanta Motor Speedway.

After the sun goes down, the fun really begins. Georgia's capital is a dining mecca with fare from Southern to Ethiopian and Continental to Caribbean. After a delicious dinner, nightlife gleams with upbeat dancing, spectacular music and electrifying rhythms in Buckhead. And what better way is there to spend the morning after, but to visit one of our 53 malls or 680 open-air strip centers throughout the city. Atlanta is known for its legendary shopping experience.

Plus, getting around Atlanta is simple. Our bus and rapid rail system, MARTA, is just $1.75 a ride and most major hotels and attractions are accessible by MARTA. Even Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport has a MARTA station right inside the terminal. Atlanta is easy to navigate for drivers and has an abundance of taxis available as well.
