It's also one of the world's most diverse cities, attracting residents from all over the globe.
Atlanta is a city of eclectic neighborhoods, from shopping and nightlife in upscale Buckhead, trendy Virginia Highlands, or Bohemian Little Five Points to cultural meccas in midtown, downtown, and Decatur. For Dining, try authentic Asian or Mexican along Buford Highway, or traditional pub grub in Decatur, Indian in midtown, Ethiopian near Emory, or Italian on Cheshire Bridge, or traditional southern barbeque pretty much anywhere. Don't forget a burger or chilidog at the world-famous Varsity! It's a city where you're sure to find something for everyone.
Science buffs can peer into the heavens at the largest telescope in the world dedicated to education, or touch an Apollo space capsule at Fernbank Science Center. Like the water? Raft down the Chattahoochee River, or go boating at Lake Lanier. For history, the Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial is a must. Or visit the largest collection of Egyptian mummies outside of Egypt at Emory's Carlos Museum.
If live music, improv comedy, opera, dance, or theatre is your thing, Atlanta is the place for you. Atlanta's seasonal festivals are not to be missed-including one of the world's largest literary and book festivals, and too arts festivals to count!
