Atlanta Feature

Top Reasons to Go to Atlanta

The Georgia Aquarium: Wildly successful after its opening in late 2005, the world's largest aquarium draws visitors from all over the globe.

A stroll through the park: April in Paris has nothing on Atlanta, especially when the azaleas and dogwoods are blooming in Atlanta Botanical Garden and Piedmont Park.

Following in Dr. King's footsteps: Home of Martin Luther King Jr., Atlanta was a hub of the civil rights movement. Tour the King Center and his childhood home on Auburn Avenue.

Civil War history: Artifacts in the city's museums—as well as at historic sites in nearby Kennesaw, Marietta, and Roswell—give you the chance to revisit those difficult times.

Southern cooking, and then some: Good Southern food has always been easy to find here, but Atlanta's ethnic diversity makes it a great place to sample a wide range of cuisines.
