Atlanta, Today, Mostly Sunny
20 - 31?C | 69 - 89?FWelcome to Atlanta: Capital of the New South
Famous as the birthplace of Martin Luther King Jr., Atlanta was an important center for civil rights in the 1960s. It was the third US city to host the Summer Olympics, in 1996, and is the international headquarters of the Coca-Cola Company. The city today is on its way up and buzzing with an unmistakable energy and spirit of success.
Atlanta is situated 320 meters above sea level, making the average temperature lower than that of other Southern cities. Summers are hot and humid and winters can be a little chilly, but there is never a bad time to search for a cheap flight to Atlanta, as the city boasts activities for all conditions, from history museums to sporting events, concerts and outdoor parks.
Atlanta International Airport—Hartsfield-Jackson, is located only 16 km south of downtown. As the world’s busiest airport it is served by all major domestic and international flight companies. Flights to Atlanta are easily available from wherever you are in the world.
Upon your arrival in the city you will be faced with myriad activities to choose from. Modern must-sees include the world’s largest indoor Aquarium, the ‘World of Coca-Cola’, ‘Inside CNN Atlanta’ and the children’s museum ‘Imagine It!’ These form a walk-able attraction loop in the downtown area. Nearby is the 21-acre Centennial Olympic Park, featuring regular family events and free musical performances. The past is still visible amid the modern setting of the city: Historic attractions include the Martin Luther King Jr. National Historic Site in the district of Sweet Auburn and the Jimmy Carter Library and Museum. For outdoor activities visit the Atlanta Zoo with its popular panda exhibit, or Stone Mountain Park featuring the largest exposed piece of granite rock in the world.
For places to stay you will be spoilt for choice, but the original Hyatt Regency Hotel created by the famous Atlanta architect John Portman is worth a visit even if you are staying elsewhere. As the first atrium-centered hotel it has influenced hotel design since its construction in 1967, has over 1200 rooms, and features a revolving restaurant offering panoramic views of the city. It is one of the modern high-rises forming the bright, modern Atlanta skyline.
Atlanta is undoubtedly one of Southern America’s most energetic and interesting cities and a number-one choice for a city break.
