Atlanta, Georgia, is a bustling,
world-class city, with a skyline full of impressive
architectural designs that complement rolling hills and
abundant foliage. Atlanta is consistently ranked as one of
the best places to do business in the U.S., and more than
750 of Fortune's Top 1,000 businesses have offices there.
The Atlanta airport (Hartsfield) is usually ranked as the
world's busiest, and its airport code, ATL, has become the
city's nickname among locals.
Atlanta's fast-paced, ready-for-the-future attitude is
evident in its booming convention business. Other Atlanta
attractions include pulsing nightlife, showplace museums,
sophisticated fine-arts facilities and painstakingly
restored historical landmarks.
Downtown Atlanta has several hubs of activity. Encircling
Centennial Olympic Park are the Georgia World Congress

of grand hotels, retail shops, restaurants and business
towers. Cultural events downtown include concerts in

azalea-lined streets. Residents of historic, in-town Atlanta
neighborhoods, such as Buckhead and Virginia-Highland, enjoy
restored homes, baby-stroller-friendly sidewalks, unusual
antiques shops and art studios, and intimate, cozy outdoor
cafes.
