A Day in Atlanta: Ideas of What to Do

Atlanta, Georgia, is known as the "capital of the South" and is a booming American tourist destination. It features a huge selection of modern attractions and museums, as well as excellent restaurants and luxury megamall shopping.



If you are travelling through exciting Atlanta, this huge city is worth at least a few days of exploration to be able to take in its attractions. There are many fine boutique hotels in Atlanta that would serve as a great base downtown as you enjoy all the city has to offer.



However, if you are only in the city for a short time, such as staying at a boutique hotel in Atlanta for one or two nights, it is still possible to enjoy the sights of this vibrant metropolis. Here are a few ideas of the must-see attractions you should head to first if you are planning a short stay in a boutique hotel in Atlanta:



The first place to head is the epicentre of the city of Atlanta itself, the Centennial Olympic Park. This large urban square is the location of the city’s two most popular and entertaining tourist attractions, the Georgia Aquarium and the World of Coca-Cola. The aquarium is the largest in the world, and showcases many beautiful species of marine life including beluga whales and rare whale sharks. The World of Coca-Cola will give you an insight into the history and culture of one of the most popular beverages in the world.

Atlanta is the birthplace of influential human rights leader Martin Luther King, Jr. On Auburn Avenue you can visit a National Historic Site devoted to his life and the history of the civil rights movement. The area has audio visual exhibits and artefacts, and visitors can visit the locations where King was born, where he preached, and where he was buried.

Stone Mountain Park is a Civil War themed park that provides a lot of fun for nature lovers as well as history buffs. There are boats, campgrounds, and miles of hiking trails within this 3,200 acre area as well as a living history museum, a waterslide park, and a scenic railroad!



There is so much to see and do here that next time you visit a boutique hotel in Atlanta, you will want to stay much longer!
