  • Start getting to know Georgia by walking around Atlanta. One of the best places is the historic center. It’s a large complex that includes the City Museum, the Swan House, the Smith Family Farm and Kenan Research Center, the Centennial Olympic Museum and six historic gardens. It is not uncommon to see celebrities on its streets. For example, writer Margaret Mitchell, author of the masterpiece Gone with the Wind, lived in one of the old houses.
  • Visit the Georgia Oceanarium, where you can see a huge number of sea creatures, as well as participate in interesting interactive activities. This is one of the largest aquariums in the world. It is home to more than 100 thousand aquatic creatures, including whale sharks. Here you can see rare albino alligators and watch the training of sea lions. For daredevils there is an attraction of diving into the pool with sharks. Under the aquarium there is a glass tunnel where you can watch the inhabitants swimming around.
  • Visit one of the most popular places in Atlanta’s neighborhoods, Stone Mountain Park. This granite massif is a single mass with a height of more than 250 meters and a circumference of about 10 km. On the eastern slope is carved bas-relief of three Confederate leaders. But in addition to visiting the monument here you can climb to the top by cable car or ride around the mountain on a 1940s locomotive, as well as visit various entertainment attractions.
  • Take a stroll down Savannah’s main street, River Street. There are many interesting places that allow you to get a deeper insight into the spirit of the city. On River Street there are preserved buildings that still have traces of slave keeping. The street is rich in numerous monuments that are dedicated to the historical events of the city. Also on River Street there are souvenir stores where you can buy something to remember.
  • Take photos at the lantern-lit Savannah Riverfront, one of the most beautiful spots in the city. There are great views for shots of riverboats, cobblestone streets, and 18th century homes.

In addition, golfers from all over the United States travel to Georgia to spend time on local courses that are considered some of the best in the country.
  • Enjoy the delights of Georgia’s unique nature. Among the most spectacular places is Tallulah Gorge in the northwest of the state.

Excellent panoramic views of the Chattahoochee-Oconee National Forest from Brasstown Bald, the state’s highest point. And in the springtime, the view of the Blue Ridge Mountains is mesmerizing, especially when the color of the sky is accentuated by the blooming purple flowers.
