10 days in Atlanta & New Orleans Itinerary

Georgia’s largest city and capital, Atlanta is a thriving metropolis anchored by its southern roots.

There's still lots to do: admire nature's wide array of creatures at Georgia Aquarium, explore the world behind art at National Center for Civil and Human Rights, and examine the collection at World of Coca-Cola.
