"A few days in Atlanta" a Atlanta Travel Page by Redlats

In early 2004, I had a business trip in Atlanta. After the work was done, I got to take in some of Atlanta's activities - a NHL game between Toronto and the Atlanta Thrashers, the Coca Cola Museum, the CNN tour, Grant Park, etc. My time was limited, so I considered some other activities - for instance Stone Mountain and the History Museum, but I could not devote sufficent time to either of them, so I did not try.

I apologize to Atlantanians (what does one call someone-from-Atlanta anyway?), but after my 5 days I do not believe Atlanta is a top tourist draw. There are interesting Civil war history sites, but beyond that, there is not a lot of reason to visit Atlanta.

Something visitors should be aware of. Peachtree Street is a main road though downtown Atlanta. However, there are more than 100 other streets with the name Peachtree in the name (for example: Peachtree Heights, West Peachtree Street, Peachtree Hills Ave. etc. etc.), so you may get lost.
