Atlanta
Atlanta, the Southeast's premier tourism spot and one of the country's top moving destinations! Whether you are planning a short trip to our city or you plan to stay awhile, Atlanta.com is the only way to discover this jewel of the South.
Atlanta has been thoroughly divided and subdivided into a complex network of districts and neighborhoods. In some areas, every other block or so seems to claim distinction as its own unique neighborhood with its own specific nickname, which can get rather confusing for visitor and native alike.
The nice thing about the neighborhoods in this town, however, is that despite the influences of time, gentrification, urban renewal and shifting demographics, most neighborhoods have managed to retain their charm and flavor. Another pleasant surprise is that unlike some cities, the attractions and amenities of Atlanta are fairly evenly distributed among the various neighborhoods.
Whatever you might be looking for, from high-end shopping in Buckhead to fine dining in Virginia Highland to ultra-cool clubbing in Little Five Points, each of the city's districts has much to offer. As more and more residents and tourists flock to this capital of the New South, Atlanta's diverse neighborhoods stand as a fitting parallel to the rich melting pot that the city has become over the years.
Looking for something to do? Atlanta's attractions are known the world over. From the Atlanta Braves to CNN to Stone Mountain, there is a park, a sports team, or a museum for you. And the entire Southeast comes to Atlanta to shop. From nationally known department stores to unique boutiques, the shops and services will never let you down.
Southern food is one-of-a-kind, and Atlanta's restaurants win rave reviews from all over the world. That could be because Atlanta's acclaimed restaurants serve up every type of food imaginable. Of course you can find the very best fried chicken, homemade vegetables and peach cobbler here. But mouth-watering Italian antipasto? Delectable and artistic sushi? Award-winning contemporary? Barbecue that's been smoked for 24 hours? It is all here, plus so much more. Just don't forget the sweet tea!
