Atlanta
The South's capital city, reborn as a food and culture powerhouse
Atlanta has transformed from a convention city into one of America's most interesting destinations over the past decade. The Atlanta Beltline trail has reconnected neighborhoods, the food scene from Buford Highway to Ponce City Market rivals any US city, and the city's civil rights history is unparalleled. It's also one of the most affordable major US cities for visitors.
