Home to Coca-Cola, the world’s busiest airport and 70 roads with the word “Peachtree” in their name (no exaggeration), the city of Atlanta has many claims to fame.
If you time traffic just right, Georgia’s capital is about a four-hour drive from Charlotte (time it wrong and you’ll have a prolonged view of red taillights). While the city has a reputation for horrible traffic, it also has a rich history (hello, birthplace of civil rights) and a long track record of producing incredible food, art and music.
While it’s impossible to cover everything Atlanta has to offer, we’ve highlighted a few landmarks as well as some local hot spots that are sure to give you a taste of life in A-town.
