Are you thinking about visiting this iconic city in the United States from Montpellier? Here are some highlights that will make you want to book your flight!
Destination Atlanta
Located in the state of Georgia, Atlanta is famous for many reasons. Among them, it is the birthplace of the most famous soft drink: Coca-Cola. During your stay in Atlanta, be sure to visit the World of Coca-Cola Museum, which is open daily. The museum offers tastings of various flavors of the drink, some of which are available only in certain countries. It also features an olfactory experience. The history of the drink (which was invented in a pharmacy in the city!) is well-documented, including exhibits that will captivate both fans and non-fans of the iconic soda. We bet you'll bring home a souvenir from this visit!
Atlanta is also known for its numerous green spaces, such as the 12-hectare Atlanta Botanical Garden, as well as its zoo. Additionally, there's the Martin Luther King Jr. National Historical Park, named after the historical figure of the civil rights movement who was originally from the city.
What to do in Atlanta?
For nature lovers, a must-do activity in Atlanta is visiting Stone Mountain Park. This granite mountain offers opportunities for hiking, zip-lining, golfing, picnicking, and even watching an outdoor movie!
Film and TV series enthusiasts will be excited to explore Atlanta as it has been a filming location for several productions like The Walking Dead and The Hunger Games.
Music lovers will be delighted by Atlanta’s numerous music festivals that take place each year. If you visit during the summer, you'll be there for the outdoor concerts, particularly at the botanical garden.
Atlanta is also a sports city, having hosted the Summer Olympics almost 20 years ago. The Centennial Olympic Park, created for the occasion, is still a part of the city and can be included in your travel itinerary.
Finally, another must-see in Atlanta (if you’re not afraid of heights) is a ride on the famous Skyview Ferris wheel to enjoy a bird’s-eye view of the city.
