How to Visit Atlanta, GA

Atlanta is the capital and the most populous city in the state of Georgia. As the core city of the ninth most populous metropolitan area in the United States, Atlanta offers visitors with a multitude of options for things to do and see.

Instructions

1. Check out Underground Atlanta. This is a shopping and entertainment district in the Five Points neighborhood of the downtown area. For 40 years, this 12-acre area was effectively abandoned and forgotten, until 1968 when the original storefronts were rediscovered and the district was declared a historic site. Home now to retail stores, restaurants, several nightclubs and bars, you can check out all the Underground has to offer here.

2. Have a Coke! The World of Coca-Cola provides visitors with a unique look at the Coca-Cola Company. Large Coca-Cola bottles made from different materials from around the world and a collection of Coca-Cola advertising artifacts dating back as far as 1905 greet guests as they move through the different floors learning positive stories of The Coca-Cola Company's influence in the world. Guests can even taste test different Coke flavors!

3. Visit Stone Mountain. Located in a suburb of Atlanta, Stone Mountain contains the world's largest bas-relief carving, which depicts three figures of the Confederate States of America--Stonewall Jackson, Robert E. Lee and Jefferson Davis. The main attraction of this park is Summit Skyride, a cable car that provides a stunning view of the carving as it transports guests more than 825 feet above ground to the top of the mountain. From the top, guests experience amazing views of the Atlanta skyline and the Appalachian Mountains.

4. Scope out some fish at the Georgia Aquarium. Billed as the "world's largest aquarium" with more than 8.1 million US gallons of marine and fresh water , this aquarium houses more than 100,000 animals of 500 different species.
