Atlanta Travel Guide

Atlanta OVERVIEW

Atlanta - a fizzy hometown of the world's favorite beverage, Coca Cola, the enduring leader of the American South and a unique place where the man who had a dream, Martin Luther King, was born. Come and you'll be greeted with a warm hug by a city which rose like a Phoenix after being burnt to the ground during William T. Sherman's ‘March to the Sea', a city which has witnessed the horrors of wartime and suffered the pain of natural disasters. Atlanta's a fast-paced modern city and vanguard of the New South which balances with a ballerina grace between top-notch modernism and southern traditions. ‘A city too busy to hate' as it was often labeled in the 1960s, Atlanta keeps growing with the city texture getting more and more multiethnic, the Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport becoming the busiest in the world and serving approximately 89 million passengers annually and the skyline getting packed with skyscrapers. When you come take MARTA, the city's excellent rail, to explore the historic heart beating downtown Atlanta or the CNN headquarters, get personal with whale sharks at the world's largest Georgia Aquarium and feel the fizz at the World of Coke.
