Rhythms of The South

The Rhythms of the South, comprising of Atlanta, Nashville and New Orleans offers everything from culture, music and history to festivals, events and family fun making it the a holiday destination you just need to experience.

New Orleans

While many cities have great museums, New Orleans is itself a breathing, evolving work of art — a revitalized metropolis pulsating with the energy, creativity, and passion of artists, musicians, chefs, and a population ready to celebrate. And with New Orleans being one of the least expensive travel hot spots in the U.S., now is the time to discover The Big Easy’s artistic charms.

The birthplace of jazz, New Orleans is a music lover’s paradise. Kick back to Jazz at Preservation Hall, sway to the sounds of a street performer as you stroll through the French Quarter. The city is rich with clubs, concert halls, theatres, and street corners vibrating with a range of musical sounds and styles. You can hear everything from jazz and blues to Cajun, zydeco, rock, gospel, operac and classical. This non-stop city is alive with excitement.

New Orleans is considered the most delicious city in America. With world-famous chefs and more restaurants than ever in our history, New Orleans dazzles with its myriad culinary treasures. Sample everything from classic Cajun and Creole to Latin, Mediterranean, Asianc and New Orleans fusion.

From the gambling tables at the casino to the paddlewheelers on the Mississippi River, to the historical street cars, the energy flows and the good times roll in New Orleans. Best of all, you won’t go home empty-handed. Louisiana offers tax-free shopping for international visitors.

Nashville

There is only one Music City. And today, Nashville continues its emergence as a cultural, artistic and entertainment-rich destination, filled with unique music and event venues, a myriad of art galleries, botanical gardens and greenways, plantation homes, honky-tonks, professional sports and fine dining.

Nashville has also become a hub for pop, rock, bluegrass, jazz, classical, contemporary Christian, blues and soul music. Live music can be found 24/7/365 at any one of the more than 120 live music venues in the city. Countless artists choose Music City to write and record, and names like Kings of Leon, Keith Urban, Sheryl Crow and Jack White have chosen to call Nashville home. Nashville’s connection to music is unequalled, and its reputation as Music City has been consistently proven for over 200 years. It truly is the most musical city in the world

With its charming mix of musical, historical and cultural flavours, Nashville is truly a city for all seasons and styles. Nashville’s promise is to provide the ultimate musical entertainment experience celebrated throughout its diverse cultural and entertainment offerings and presented in an authentic, unique, friendly and unpretentious atmosphere. So whether it’s listening to live music, soaking in the art scene, exploring history or simply relaxing, you’ll find many ways to enjoy Music City and discover why music calls us home.

Atlanta

While Atlanta is sprawling with towering buildings made of glass and steel, it is truly a city in the forest, dotted with expansive green spaces. Recently named to Lonely Planet's "Best in the U.S." list, 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.

Centennial Olympic Park is Downtown’s centrepiece and is anchored by the Fountain of Rings, an everlasting reminder of the 1996 Summer Olympic Games. Next door, attractions surround Pemberton Place such as Georgia Aquarium, World of Coca-Cola and Centre for Civil and Human Rights. Atlanta Streetcar is the city’s modern-day trolley, carrying passengers from the convention and entertainment district to the eastside of the city.

Atlanta sits at the intersection of Southern charm, creativity and sophistication. It is easy to fall in love with this beautiful city – its world-class attractions, award-winning dining and hidden wonders – and be inspired by the city’s endless possibilities.
