Welcome to the "Capitol of the Old South"!

Georgia is the largest state east of the Mississippi River, covering nearly 60,000 square miles. Atlanta, the state's largest city, offers a mild climate and a year-round cosmopolitan smorgasbord of dining, shopping and recreational opportunities. Explore our rich cultural life with a visit to one of our outstanding museums, theaters, musical ensembles or dance companies. Cheer for our major league teams — Falcons football, Hawks basketball and Braves baseball. Catch the excitement of NASCAR races at the Atlanta Motor Speedway, or enjoy a round on one of our fine golf courses. And when you want to get away from it all, hike our beautiful national parks and forests or bike around Stone Mountain Park. From culture to sports to nature, there's always something to do in and around Atlanta.
