Atlanta has long been known as a commercial and transportation hub of the American Southeast, home to more than a dozen Fortune 500 companies and the world’s busiest airport. With a rich history of activists and innovators, Georgia’s capital and largest city is a destination with so much to explore—from historic civil-rights era sites like the birthplace of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., to ingenious arts and culture in vibrant neighborhoods, to scenic spots for hiking, water sports, or basking in the southern heat. Blending genuine hospitality with a cool breeze of progressive ideas and culture, Atlanta is a destination to make the most of a business trip or layover—or stop and stay a while.
