Atlanta

  As the “New Capital of the   South,” Atlanta
  has more to   offer than Southern   hospitality.
  With fine dining, museums, theater, attractions   and world-class shopping,   Atlanta has   something for everyone. When the show   comes to an end for the day, why not enjoy a   performance of the Atlanta Ballet, tour the   Georgia Dome or the CNN News Studio, visit   Fernbank Museum, catch a concert at the Fox
  Theatre, view extraordinary exhibits at the High   Museum of Art, learn about America's favorite   soft drink at the World of Coca-Cola or visit the   Pandas at Zoo Atlanta? Sports fans will really   enjoy the Atlanta action, from Braves baseball and Falcons football to the Atlanta Motor Speedway.
