Explore Atlanta
Atlanta is the capital of the New South — civil-rights history, leafy neighbourhoods and a booming film and food scene. Its sprawl and famous traffic reward a driver; Chauffyr links a Sweet-Auburn morning, a Ponce City Market lunch and a Buckhead dinner in a fixed-price black car.
The cradle of the civil-rights movement, the world's busiest airport, a thriving film and music industry, and Southern-food heritage.
