With the biggest and busiest airport in the entire world, Atlanta is in a very convenient location to spend your next holiday. The birthplace of Dr. Martin Luther King, Atlanta combines LA and New York level art, cuisine, and film with the southern hospitality the American south is famous for.

Atlanta has so many neighbourhoods to explore.

Martin Luther King, the spokesman for the African American civil rights movement, was born and raised in Atlanta. He is one of the most important figures in the recent history of the United States and the city recognizes his contribution to American culture at the Martin Luther King, Jr. National Historical Park, where by walking in his footsteps and connecting with him as a leader and a human being we preserve his legacy and keep his dream alive. Don’t miss the illuminating Museum of Civil Rights, where you travel through the history of segregation, Jim Crow laws and the first movements towards justice and equality, from Rosa Park to the march on Washington.

World of Coca-Cola is a fascinating museum that tells the history of the most famous drink in the world, with thousands of merchandising exhibits, the secret formula (well, almost all the secret formula) and of course, a hall where you can taste 100 types of Coke from all over the world! And why is this Museum in Atlanta? Well, Coca Cola was invented here in 1886 in a small pharmacy in the city!

Little Five Points is a colourful neighbourhood, full of graffiti, record stores, vintage clothes and cool ethnic restaurants where you can sit back and people watch to your heart’s content.

Piedmont Park, the largest in the city of Atlanta, nestled just south of the downtown area, features bike paths, trails, play areas, recreation fields, a lake, botanical gardens, a bee exhibit and a butterfly refuge. Lush, beautiful and full of life, there is so much to see as you lazily sashay around the park and indulge yourself in the worry-free internal monologue only a successful holiday can provide.

Many urban tunnels and viaducts have their share of graffiti, but Atlanta's Krog Street Tunnel stands out from the rest, with barely an inch of unpainted space in it. The tradition of graffiti in the tunnel dates to the 1960s and continues to this day. From tiny tags to huge murals and flyers of underground festivals, the concrete walls and pillars are a chaotic kaleidoscope of overlapping images, words and ideas, and an ever-changing must-see for visitors to this exhilarating city.
