All About Atlanta
In these parts the unspeakable-in-polite-company "S word" is Sherman. The general razed Atlanta to the ground in 1864 and memories run long in the South. But the city rose from the ashes and re-imagined its future as a business center and vibrant multi-cultural capital.
For first-time visitors, Atlanta is at once everything and nothing like they expected. Put away all romantic notions of preserved capitals like Charleston and get ready to experience a city that is gritty, funky, and yet still has locals who say "good mornin'."
Start your trip at the Georgia Aquarium, the world's largest aquarium with over eight million gallons of water and three beluga whales. Then, stroll across the square to the all-new World of Coca-Cola®, where visitors may sip soda from around the world. From there, say kiss my grits to the skyscrapers and head to the 'hoods. Shop the boutiques of the Virginia Highlands, try on pink pleather pants in Little Five Points, then pop your collar and rub shoulders with bankers in Buckhead. And no Atlanta vacation is complete until you tuck into breakfast at The Flying Biscuit.
