Atlanta Travel Guide

Atlanta has in recent years undergone a transition from a city of regional commerce to a city of international influence. It is a beautiful city, often considered a poster child for cities worldwide experiencing rapid growth and urban sprawl.

About Atlanta

Atlanta covers an area of 132.4 sq. miles (343 square Km) and is estimated to have a population of 5.2 million people being the capital and the most populous city of the U.S. state of Georgia, as well as the the core city of the ninth most populous metropolitan area in the United States.

Museums

Margaret Mitchell House & MuseumThis modest turn-of-the-century home is an architectural find in itself, but most notable because it houses the apartment where Margaret Mitchell penned most of the world’s most popular novel, “Gone with the Wind.” Having survived arson and many seasons of decay, the house has been completely restored.

Guided tours feature a wealth of historical and anecdotal information on Mitchell, the house and Atlanta in general. A museum shop is also on site.
