3. Atlanta
The historic city of Atlanta offers travelers a number of different things to see and do. Aficionados of all things flora should stop and smell the roses at the 30-acre attractive Atlanta Botanical Garden. Check out the famous World of Coca-Cola, the memorable museum dedicated to the famous, top-selling cold beverage of the same name. You will even get to sample 200 different sodas from all around the world.
Are you traveling with your family? Be sure to visit the Georgia Aquarium. Be sure not to miss the popular deep-water Ocean Voyager tank. It is full of whale sharks, manta rays, and sea turtles. Other highlights include the popular High Museum of Art, pretty Centennial Olympic Park, and Dr. Martin Luther King’s home.
4. Athens
Athens is more than some place for college football fans. It offers visitors several fun events, tasty local cuisine, a cool craft beer scene, and even a few hidden gems. It has its own unique cultural blend of college town atmosphere and the arts.
Indeed, music is especially important here since it’s the birthplace of such bands as the B-52s and REM. Catch a live show at The Foundry, the Georgia Theatre, the Live Wire, or the 40 Watt Club. Attend such annual events as the local music festival, AthFest, Boo-le-Bark, the Halloween costume parade for dogs, or the popular nighttime bicycle race, Twilight. Wet your lips at one of the local breweries: Akademia, Creature Comforts, Southern Brewing Company, and Terrapin.
