THE LOCATION
ATLANTA, GEORGIA
Atlanta is the capital of and the most populous city in the US state of Georgia, with an estimated2013 population of 447,841. Atlanta is the cultural and economic center of the Atlanta metropolitan area, home to 5,522,942 people and the ninth largest metropolitan area in the United States.
Atlanta, while located in the South, has a culture that is no longer strictly Southern. This is due to a large population of migrants from other parts of the U.S., in addition to many recent immigrants to the U.S. who have made the metropolitan area their home, establishing Atlanta as the cultural and economic hub of an increasingly multi-cultural metropolitan area. Thus, although traditional Southern culture is part of Atlanta's cultural fabric, it is mostly the backdrop to one of the nation's most cosmopolitan cities.
Centennial Olympic Park, the heart of downtown’s tourist hub, is marked by playful fountains that draw visitors to its core. The Atlanta Streetcar glides by carrying passengers on this modern-day trolley. Attractions abound at Pemberton Place with the popular Georgia Aquarium, World of
Coca-Cola and the Center for Civil and Human Rights. Sports fans congregate here to visit the College Football Hall of Fame and to ”Rise Up” for the NFL Falcons at the Georgia Dome, NBA Hawks and WNBA Dream at Philips Arena, and the MLB Braves at Turner Field.
The city’s rich history comes to life in Sweet Auburn, once the wealthiest black community in America. The area is a mecca for civil rights travelers visiting the Martin Luther King Jr. National Historic Site and Ebenezer Baptist Church.
In Atlanta, chef-run restaurants dish up modern American cuisine in strikingly beautiful spaces. Among the cutting edge eateries are cozy diners, cafés and bistros. The ethnic mom-and-pop restaurants along Buford Highway offer menus with little English and lots of flavor. Locally-owned craft breweries pepper the city, creating an unofficial brewery trail for visitors to enjoy.
Beyond the city’s core, Atlanta’s intown neighborhoods are packed with personality. Midtown melds in-town glitz with the culture. The Westside has become a magnet for foodies, design enthusiasts and shoppers. Buckhead blends boutiques and galleries with fabulous dining, while Little Five Points lives on the edge of bohemian grunge paired with solid live theatre and music scenes.
Transportation in Atlanta is made up of a complex infrastructure that includes a heavy rail line, a streetcar line, multiple interstate highways, the world's busiest airport, and over 45 miles of bike paths. The Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transport Authority (MARTA) provides public transportation in the form of buses and heavy rail. MARTA rail lines connect many key destinations, such as the airport, Downtown, Midtown, Buckhead, and Perimeter Center. You are never far from your next trip with the Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport. It offers air service to over 150 U.S. destinations and more than 80 international destinations in 52 countries, with 2,700 arrivals and departures daily.
The Atlanta Metropolitan Area spans 39 counties and 97 cities in north Georgia. Some of the most populated cities in the metro area include Sandy Springs, Roswell, Johns Creek, Alpharetta, and Marietta.
AttractionsAtlanta is home to many different attractions, ranging from aquariums and zoos to classical ballet and theatre. While you’re here, you can catch an Atlanta Braves baseball game, visit the Atlanta Botanical Garden, or enjoy a relaxing day in one of Atlanta’s many parks. The diversity of Atlanta is one of its best qualities – Atlanta has something for everyone.
