  1. Step 1

    Start with a visit to the Coca-Cola museum. Coke is one of the most popular drinks in the world and has many versions that are available in various countries to accommodate different tastes. Those versions are available for sampling at the World of Coca-Cola museum in downtown Atlanta. The museum also displays Coke memorabilia from the past century. A working bottling plant is also on the premises and tours of the plant are part of the museum tour.

  2. Step 2

    Go to the Georgia Aquarium. The aquarium is the largest in the world and attracts tourists from all over the country. Spend time looking at the various rare aquatic species and enjoy the serenity of sea animals. Have lunch in the aquarium's restaurant.

  3. Step 3

    Go shopping at Phipps Plaza. The ultra-high end stores of Phipps draw shoppers from all over the Southeast. Part-time Atlanta residents like Madonna and Elton John shop at Phipps and tourists can mix with the rich and famous as they shop for outrageously expensive clothing.

  4. Step 4

    Visit the Martin Luther King Jr. National Historical Site. The site is an educational and moving look at the civil rights movement and Atlanta's part in it.

  5. Step 5

    Finish your day in Atlanta with a night at Underground Atlanta. This shopping area is an underground section of Atlanta that is full of eclectic shops and quaint cafes. Have dinner, shop and enjoy the atmosphere. Underground Atlanta is open until late at night and often features live music in the wee hours.
