Atlanta, a diversified metropolis with bustling arts scenes, vast environmental preserves, and a significant role in the development of American history, has long lagged behind its more well-known rivals in neighboring states, such as Orlando and New Orleans.

Atlanta is no longer only the location of the busiest airport in the world; rather, it is now attracting the recognition it rightfully deserves by drawing in millions of visitors each year who are looking for world-class museums, professional sports, unusual attractions, and wonderful food.

Visit the notorious World of Coca-Cola, indulge in some regional wines in wine country, follow in the paths of Dr. Martin Luther King, and much more in this vibrant, underappreciated Southern treasure.

Make the most of your adventure if you’re going to Atlanta by checking off as many of these things as you can.
