Vacation Rentals in Atlanta, Georgia

Why People Visit:

Atlanta, or “Hotlanta”, is a large metropolis with a definite southern charm about it. With a rich history dating to before the civil war, this city has a booming cultural, food, music, and business scene and offers something for all types of travelers.

Into the food scene? You won’t have to look far to find classic southern dishes with a modern flair, or traditional soul food. Visit Mary Mac’s tea room, or Twisted Soul Cookhouse to get your fill. Atlanta is also one of the first major cities to jump on the food hall trend. Try Ponce City Market or Krog Street Market for bites from many James Beard-winning chefs. Gastropubs dot the city with classic cocktails done up with a southern twist and ethnic food is in abundance too!

Into history? Atlanta has you covered. Visit the Atlanta History Center, the National Center for Civil and Human Rights or Centennial Olympic Park to get a feel for the rich history of the city. If you’re a cinema history buff, don’t miss the Gone With the Wind Trail including stops at Margaret Mitchell’s house and the Atlanta Cyclorama.

Bringing the family? Don’t miss a trip to the World of Coca Cola to see how the classic soda is made (and get samples). Make a stop at the Georgia Aquarium (where you can swim with whale sharks). Catch a play at the Fox Theater downtown or play in one of the many lush green parks the city offers.
