Atlanta
Atlanta, home to the world’s busiest airport and the birthplace of Coca-Cola is one of the most exciting and diverse cities in the United States. Upon arriving in Atlanta, one of the first things that visitors notice is how green the city is, truly living up to its reputation as a “city in the forest”. This urban oasis is a multi-cultural haven for residents and visitors alike, yet exudes Southern hospitality. Individuals from all walks of life add to the city’s charm and personality.
In Atlanta, Georgia, you will find everything from sporting events and great shopping to cultural icons and entertainment. With over 5.7 million residents, Atlanta is the economic and cultural capital of the South. Start your visit in Centennial Olympic Park, where you’ll find attractions such as Georgia Aquarium, World of Coca-Cola, and the Center for Civil and Human Rights.
Then, discover Atlanta’s important role in U.S. history. Atlanta is one of only two cities in the world to claim two Nobel Peace Prize winners – Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and former U.S. president, Jimmy Carter. See the medals on display and learn about their legacies at the Martin Luther King Jr. Historic Site and the Jimmy Carter Presidential Library.
And no visit to Atlanta would be complete without experiencing the wonderful dining and nightlife available throughout Atlanta’s unique and diverse neighbourhoods.
