Top places to visit

1. Georgia Aquarium

You shouldn't miss a visit to this wildly popular attraction which from the outside looks like the bow of a ship and inside has more than 80,000 animals to see. The aquarium's Ocean Voyager Gallery is the world's largest indoor marine exhibit holding 27 million litres of salt water which provides plenty of opportunities to study life underwater. Walk through the clear tunnel in the middle and enjoy the sight of whale sharks, manta rays, grouper fish, sharks and stingrays swimming above you. There's much more than fish and mammals on display though: there are also penguins, sea lions, sea otters, river otters, sea turtles, and giant octopus, too.

5. Centennial Olympic Park

What was once an unattractive part of downtown is now one of Atlanta's most appealing public areas which attracts more than 3 million visitors a year. A legacy of the 1996 Olympic Games, the 9-hectare park was originally built to celebrate the Games being held in Atlanta, as well as to revitalise a part of town that had long been forgotten. The park is bound by several of the city's major attractions including the Georgia Aquarium, the CNN Center and the World of Coca-Cola.
