8 days in Atlanta Itinerary

Georgia’s largest city and capital, Atlanta is a thriving metropolis anchored by its southern roots.

Get out of town with these interesting Atlanta side-trips: National Infantry Museum and Soldier Center (in Columbus) and Chattanooga (Fishing Charters & Tours, Ghost & Vampire Tours, &more). And it doesn't end there: observe the fascinating underwater world at Georgia Aquarium, get to know the resident critters at Zoo Atlanta, get in on the family fun at Six Flags Over Georgia, and admire the natural beauty at Atlanta Botanical Garden.
