Georgia’s capital and long-time home of Martin Luther King Jr is big on history. But the skyline is pure 21st-century. Transit rail is a great way to check out the local area, try the food and get cultural, whether that means hip-hop or theater. A former host of the summer Olympics, Atlanta is also kitted out for sport: watching and playing. Had a big night out? Mellow it out in one of the city’s green spaces or the big scenery of nearby Stone Mountain Park.
