Although Atlanta is not as crowded as the New York or Chicago yet, it’s a vibrant city that keeps on growing onto its surroundings. The business and the historic heart beats in downtown Atlanta. Tall compact buildings are altered with old mansions and some of the best museums the city has to offer. Atlanta has an excellent bus and rail system called MARTA. Buckhead is the area where the fashionable live, but it is also the place to go to when you want to indulge in the sparkling nightlife scene (theatres, comedy clubs, bars, discos, live performances... you name it and you'll definitely find it here). For the more artistically inclined, the Little Five Points area at the intersection of Moreland and Euclid Ave. would be very interesting. It features many stores, coffee shops and other interesting places to look at and shop too. Downtown, there is the Underground mall which is kind of cheesy and touristy, and it has an element of a safety concern at night; probably best to skip it altogether. Keep in mind that this area is called "Five Points," not to be confused with "Little Five Points." Don't forget to catch a Braves home game at Turner Field! The new 79ft x 125ft video score board is NOT to be missed! |
