Georgia is a strikingly varied state — a place where one of America’s fastest-growing and most dynamic cities sits just a few hours’ drive from one of the country’s most perfectly preserved historic towns. The Georgia travel guides on this page cover both ends of that spectrum, with articles on Atlanta and Savannah that between them paint a rich picture of what makes the Peach State such a rewarding destination for visitors.
Atlanta dominates the first half of the page, and rightly so — it’s a city with a remarkable density of world-class attractions. Guides here cover the ever-popular World of Coca-Cola, the deeply moving Martin Luther King Jr civil rights sites, the gorgeous Atlanta Botanical Garden, and the High Museum of Art. There’s also a look at why Zoo Atlanta is worth booking well in advance, what makes the Fernbank Museum of Natural History more impressive than visitors typically expect, and a visit to Margaret Mitchell House — home of the author of Gone With The Wind. Savannah, meanwhile, is represented by a cluster of guides that reflect the city’s layered history — from the Savannah History Museum and the Webb Military Museum to the fascinating American Prohibition Museum, the riverfront Old Fort Jackson and the lovingly preserved Georgia State Railroad Museum.
