Why Atlanta is a Must-See City
Having recently returned from the U.S in somewhat usual and unexpected circumstances I thought I’d share my experiences of the city of Atlanta with you and why Atlanta is a must-see city.
Having arrived at Tampa Airport, Florida tanned, relaxed and about 2 stone heavier after a family break on Anne-Marie island off the West coast of the Floridian peninsula we expected to board our BA flight for the nine-hour long-haul flight back to the UK.
Imagine our surprise then when an airline representative informed us that our flight was full and that we may not be able to get home!! Our disbelief soon turned to elation when we were told that we’d be flying first class to Atlanta and staying overnight there all expenses paid equipped with a generous amount of spending money!
Understandably it didn’t take us long to adjust to the idea that our Florida holidays were going to be extended and within an hour we were boarding an Atlanta-bound Delta flight. Atlanta airport was huge and one of the most technically advanced I’ve ever come across, we got a-grade treatment being whisked off into an air-conditioned minibus with an extremely polite, intelligent and entertaining driver.
Our jubilation continued when we learned of the five-star hotel we were being put up in, the lavish reception area gave us a taste of our even-more impressive rooms!
Atlanta is the jewel of the deep south, so we were told, and the city certainly had plenty to offer. Atlanta is perhaps most famous for being the birthplace of Coca-Cola and it certainly isn’t shy about it, documenting the brand’s history at the museum that appeals to both adults and kids.
Any lover of sweet, syrupy drinks will be in their element here as the museum allows you to try every iteration of fizzy drink that the coca-cola company has ever produced, just be sure to keep the little ones on a leash! Atlanta has bags of culture and would make a great short break in its own right. Atlanta makes a great alternative to New York holidays or California holidays.
