Atlanta, Georgia

Georgia's state capital is home to 416,474 people who are proud to be citizens of one of the Southeast's most vibrant, progressive, and dynamic cities. In Atlanta, you can enjoy all the benefits of a major urban center, and housing prices are a fraction of those in the Northeast or the West.

Filled with a wealth of attractions and activities, the excitement never ends in this metropolis. Atlanta has been called the Sports Capital of the World, a fitting term for a city with several successful professional sports teams (including the Thrashers, Braves, Falcons, and Hawks), as well as state-of-the-art sports facilities including the Atlanta Motor Speedway.

Moderate seasonal temperatures – summer, 87F (30C); fall, 73F (22C); winter, 55F (12C); spring 72F (22C) – make Atlanta a great place to enjoy a variety of outdoor activities with the family. Plant lovers shouldn't miss the Atlanta Botanical Garden. But if you want something more energetic, there is still a lot to do. Whether you want do-it-yourself fitness fun like hiking, camping, fishing, or picnicking at a place like the Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area; or want to head off to an amusement park like Six Flags Whitewater Atlanta or Six Flags Over Georgia Atlanta; or want to see the animals at Zoo Atlanta, you and your kids will be occupied.

Indoors, you have a wide variety of restaurants (more than 8,000 and many are world-class), a festive nightlife, and an abundance of cultural appeal, whether you are looking for a night out at a club or something more upscale, like gallery shows, the Atlanta Opera, or the Atlanta Symphony. And there's theater! Try 7 Stages, the Academy Theatre, Broadway in Atlanta, the Georgia Shakespeare Festival, or the Alliance Theatre Company.

You will enjoy Atlanta all year round, indoors and outdoors.
