A bustling urban oasis in the heart of the Southeast, Atlanta mixes southern hospitality with urban splendor. Situated in the northern part of Georgia, Atlanta is well known for its airport and as the headquarters of large corporations, such as The Coca-Cola Co. and The Home Depot. While Atlanta is a sprawling city, it is also just 45 minutes away from the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains and other natural delights, giving visitors the option of trees and rolling hills or high rises. Whether you're staying downtown or venturing out, it is easiest to get around by car or taxi, but be warned that traffic in Atlanta can get ugly at rush hour. There is also the option of using the MARTA trains which run south from the airport to the northern suburbs. While the weather remains mild most of the year, there is nothing like the early fall and spring when the city comes alive with outdoor festivals and concerts. Throughout the year Atlanta offers several worthwhile attractions as well as top-notch restaurants, nightlife and entertainment. A playground for celebrities, Atlanta is also well-known for the hip hop artists and actors that call it home. You may even bump into one at the Saturday night hot spot or at Sunday brunch.

A bustling urban oasis in the heart of the Southeast, Atlanta mixes southern hospitality with urban splendor. Situated in the northern part of Georgia, Atlanta is well known for its airport and as the headquarters of large corporations, such as The Coca-Cola Co. and The Home Depot. While Atlanta is a sprawling city, it is also just 45 minutes away from the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains and other natural delights, giving visitors the option of trees and rolling hills or high rises. Whether you're staying downtown or venturing out, it is easiest to get around by car or taxi, but be warned that traffic in Atlanta can get ugly at rush hour. There is also the option of using the MARTA trains which run south from the airport to the northern suburbs. While the weather remains mild most of the year, there is nothing like the early fall and spring when the city comes alive with outdoor festivals and concerts. Throughout the year Atlanta offers several worthwhile attractions as well as top-notch restaurants, nightlife and entertainment. A playground for celebrities, Atlanta is also well-known for the hip hop artists and actors that call it home. You may even bump into one at the Saturday night hot spot or at Sunday brunch.
