Atlanta > Atlanta Experience

Advantages: Great weather, lots of trees, culture diversity, nice houses and affordable
Disadvantages: Over speeding on highways, can get pretty dry atimes

...Yes forest, not just trees. Atlanta is a heavily wooded city. It's a bit hard to describe cos I've not encountered a city with so much greenery. The airport is said to be the busiest in the world. Not sure why or how though. Would have thought Heathrow or JFK would hold that position, but it is very large (need a train to take you from one terminal to another) and very well kept I must say. Staff are pleasant and the place is clean. The highways, ...
...and places to go to, Atlanta is not short of its sights and sounds. It has the centennial park and a great big aquarium. CNN headquarters is located down town and one can enter and eat in the many eateries there all at reasonable price i must say. Close by is the Coca-cola centre which is head quartered there as well. They have a lovely experience of telling the story of coca-cola in a 3 floored building with lots to see and drink. Entry was $10 ... Read review

Advantages: connect to a lot of places
Disadvantages: IMMIGRATION, rude staff

I frequently travel to Arizona and although I prefer to opt for American Airlines as my airmiles are stacking up, generally go for the cheapest option or whatever will get me to my destination at a reasonable hour. So in December I flew with Delta via Atlanta. This review may seem biased and I really don't know too much about the facilities at the airport as I wasn't there long, but I thought I'd share my bad experiences with staff, etc. I know ...
...several years ago so maybe things have changed, but as you'll read, my journey was pretty traumatic! My stopover time was around three hours but arriving late I was only left with about two and a half. I have been flying to the United States at least three times a year for the past five or so years, and so have obviously been through a lot of different airports. Never have I had so much hassle at immigration!! First of all, you should know if you ... Read review

Advantages: Great climate, well laid out city, stuff to see and do all year round
Disadvantages: Not the busiest city in terms of museums to see and places to visit

...of the southern states, and Atlanta a southern city in such a state. This means 2 things: hot summer weather, and laid back, friendly natives. While you can't often sum up an entire city's climate or population in such a way, it definitely seemed true here. I flew into Atlanta, crossed the airport and hopped aboard one of their overland / underground MARTA trains. Within minutes I was entering the center, and less than a quarter of an hour later ...
...away are two other major Atlanta attractions: The World of Coca Cola and Underground Atlanta. The first is a large, multi-floor museum about all things carbonated. Or at least all things carbonated made by the Coca Cola company. It's a self guided place where you can take your time looking at the displays, watching the short films, seeing how a live soda shop employee makes up a perfect Cherry Coke and so on. One mini cinema shows the history of ... Read review

Advantages: Great hub if travelling by Delta.
Disadvantages: A little chaotic.

Apparently, it used to be different. At least one other reviewer here thinks so but I think the review was written before 9/11. In those days, my colleagues tell me, you could breeze through passport control and be on your way with a lot of welcoming smiles. I have travelled there a lot in the last year or so, and I can tell you that things have changed. Here are my tips for surviving the arrivals area. 1. Controls are a lot more stringent, as ...
...trained the staff or added any more bodies to the effort. After getting off the plane and walking down a long, calm corridor, you turn a corner and are confronted (80% of the time in my experience) with the sight of a long, winding queue in a large hall which heads, snail like, towards a long row of booths - most of which do not have an immigration officer in them - where the passengers are to be processed. 2. Because of this congestion, it is essential ... Read review

Advantages: unspoilt
Disadvantages: Heat

...Mall approximately 30 mins from Atlanta but worth it over 160 shops like Reebok, Adidas etc exceptional value for money. Finally the best restaurant in Atlanta in my opinion has tobe 'The Sundial' it is situated in the Western Peachtree Hotel, the restaurant is situated on the 73rd floor, revolves and is accessed via a glass lift, not recommended for those with a fear of heights. This restaurant is expensive at around $60 a head but the views and ... Read review
