Atlanta: As the 'capital of the South', Atlanta Georgia is steeped in history, which, for a relatively young city, is a surprise to many. The civil rights movement, Coca Cola and the 1996 Olympics have all left their mark on Atlanta. Immerse yourself in Atlanta's history by making a visit to the Martin Luther King, Jr. Historical Site located on Auburn Avenue, the hub of the civil rights movement in the 50's and 60's.
As the birthplace of Coca-Cola, no visit to Atlanta is complete without a trip to the 'World of Coca-Cola', even if just to take advantage of the free samples on a hot summers day!
Atlanta's ever increasing international profile and cosmopolitan blend of cultures make it well worth a visit over a long weekend or city break, or even as your annual summer vacation. There is enough for all the family.
