The City
The guide was updated:
From the outside, Atlanta looks like a typical American big city with a skyline dominated by tall buildings and iconic skyscrapers, large parks, plenty of cultural attractions and entertainment options, a diverse culinary scene, and a vibrant hub of activity nearly 24/7. However, there is so much more to explore in "The Big Peach."
Atlanta is a place full of American history, which predates the American Civil War. It is also the birthplace of several famous people, such as civil rights fighter Martin Luther King Jr. and Margaret Mitchell, author of "Gone With the Wind." It is home to the world’s most famous soda brand, Coca-Cola, whose headquarters and museum are still based here.
Sports enthusiasts will find a complete selection of options including Turner Field, home of the Atlanta Braves, the Georgia Dome hosting the NFL Atlanta Falcons, the Philips Arena showcasing NBA Atlanta Hawks, and the WNBA Atlanta Dream.
Atlanta is also a city of neighborhoods, each with its own unique charm and character. From the historic homes and tree-lined streets of Inman Park to the trendy boutiques and vibrant nightlife of Little Five Points. The BeltLine, a former railway corridor turned multi-use trail, connects many of these neighborhoods, providing a scenic route for walking, biking, and exploring the city's hidden gems.
Moreover, Atlanta boasts a thriving arts scene. The High Museum of Art, with its extensive collection of classic and contemporary works, anchors the city's cultural district. For those interested in performing arts, the Fox Theatre offers a grand setting for Broadway shows, concerts, and other live performances. With its combination of rich history, diverse culture, and modern attractions, Atlanta is a city that invites both residents and visitors to discover its many layers.
