Atlanta

One of the largest metropolitan cities in the South, Atlanta rose from its ashes after the American Civil War to become an economic, educational, and tourism powerhouse. From its humble beginnings as a railroad hub, Atlanta became one of the strongest U.S. city economies. Home to the world's busiest airport, it is one of the most-visited cities in America by both foreign and domestic tourists as well as for private jet charter to Atlanta. Interest in the city boomed as a result of hosting the 1996 Summer Olympics. The event spurred a wave of revitalization in the city, promoting economic and domestic growth and widespread neighborhood gentrification.

 

Although distinctly southern, Atlanta bears a much different character than other major cities in the South; much of its historical architecture was destroyed during the American Civil War in 1864 during Major General Sherman's March to the Sea and, today, many of its landmarks boast a post-modern design. For all its culture, business and beauty, it is Atlanta's history that factors perhaps the heaviest into its tourism appeal. In the 1960s, Atlanta became an organizing center for the Civil Rights Movement through the efforts of local leaders like Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., and Ralph David Abernathy. These factors contribute to Atlanta's reputation as a repository of African-American culture and history, but the city's multicultural character has only grown in the past few decades.

Most of Atlanta's cultural attractions are clustered around the main thoroughfare of Peachtree Street, an appropriate name given the city's uncommonly abundant tree canopy. Peachtree Street connects the shopping mecca of Buckhead to the arts-focused Midtown and then to the attraction-focused Downtown, with all of the sights in between. Atlanta is renowned for its funky alternative neighborhoods like Little Five Points, a popular bohemian community with a lively theater presence, and Decatur, host to a year-round selection of festivals large and small.
