Located in the state of Georgia, Atlanta is known worldwide as a major business city, but it is also home to many tourist attractions that make a stay in Atlanta worthwhile. Due to the very successful hosting of the 1996 Olympic Games, much of Atlanta has been redeveloped and has seen the birth of several Atlanta vacation areas. The elegant downtown area is now filled with shopping and a multitude of thriving restaurants. The Atlanta skyline is dominated by gleaming skyscrapers, as well as some of the largest suburbs in the United States. Locals are known for their southern accent and respect for nature.
