What to do and see in Atlanta, Georgia (GA): The Best Traveler Resources

October 29, 2021 Yuk Petri

Atlanta has been dubbed everything from the "capital of the new South" and "the next international city" to "the best place to do business." It's also a great place to visit. Fueled by the prosperity of local mega companies like Coca Cola and Holiday Inn, the prestige of hosting the 1996 Summer Olympic Games and the energy of young upwardly mobile types who have migrated to the city in droves - Atlanta is on fire. And this time it's a good thing. From world-class restaurants and a myriad of cultural attractions to a hip nightlife and sporting events galore, the city is cosmopolitan in every sense of the word. But Atlanta has also managed to maintain its historic character. Stop by the Atlanta History Center or visit the Martin Luther King Jr. Historical Site, a moving tribute to an American icon. Browse through the former home of famous author Margaret Mitchell or pop into the Jimmy Carter Library and Museum for details on the life and times of the former president and his family. Whether you choose modern urban endeavors or old southern pleasures, Atlanta will not disappoint.

Jimmy Carter Library & Museum

The Carter Presidential Library and Museum is a state-of-the-art museum tracing the life and work of President Jimmy Carter, from his childhood in Plains to the work he and Mrs. Carter do around the world to promote peace and health. The Museum sits in a beautifully landscaped 35 acre park with two small lakes, a Japanese garden and a spectacular view of the Atlanta skyline. The whole family will enjoy visiting. Open every day expect Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years Day.

I really enjoyed this museum. Regardless of your political affiliation, this museum offers interesting insights into President Carter’s character and the pivotal moments of his life. It’s very well laid out visually and chronologically. Plan on spending 2-3 hours depending on how much you like to read and how many of the films you watch.

Was there for Dreamhack very nice large venue. Three buildings make up the center. Recommend you prepay parking at one of their lots as there are 2 other concert venues (staples and Mercedes) nearby and parking can fill up quickly.

The Club at ATL

Reviewed By Batonwaver - Cosby, United States

This space is mainly for international flights out of ATL located in Concourse F. Our flight to Knoxville had originated in Mexico so our gate was F9. We are members of the Priority Club that grants access to over 1000 airport lounges throughout the world. Comfortable seating, full bar, lunch buffet, work stations and even showers made this one of the top lounges we have experienced . Well worth the trip to Concourse F even if you plane departs from another area.
