background

Atlanta began to take shape in 1837 when the Western & Atlantic Railroad selected the site as the southern end of its tracks. The city was named after Terminus until 1843, when it was renamed Marthasville after the daughter of Governor Wilson Lumpkin. In 1847 the city was renamed Atlanta, supposedly a female form of "Atlantic", probably created by an engineer with the Western & Atlantic. The town was established in 1847.

When the American Civil War erupted in 1861, Atlanta was an important "railway hub," a manufacturing center, and a supply camp. But in 1864 the army of Union General William T. Sherman, during his notorious "March to the sea", set down all the railway installations, almost all the shops and more than two thirds of the city's houses, in order to hinder traffic between the south and the north. Atlanta was in ruins, the only major American city ever destroyed by the war.

Shortly after, Atlanta's first resurgence began. Within four years of Sherman's attack, the capital was moved from Milledgeville to Atlanta, and a campaign was launched to locate new businesses. Meanwhile, colleges and universities began to open, telephones were introduced, and the cars started rolling. In 1895, the Cotton States and International Exhibition in Piedmont Park showed 800,000 visitors and residents that Atlanta was on the way to a new direction and headed for the 20th century.

In the late 1920's, an urban business sector had emerged that gave Atlanta much of the clear pattern that it still has today. At the same time, the city council (and later mayor) led William B. Hartsfield is a long and difficult campaign to convince the city to turn an empty race track into an airport. Today, Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport is the world's busiest airport with more than 100 million passengers per year.

While the city continued its economic expansion, it became also known as "a city too preoccupied with hatred". Atlanta and Georgia anticipated much of the disputes that arose from the 1950's and 1960's, taking the lead in strengthening minority rights in the south-east. The city's strongest identification with the movement was made by its native son, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr..

Much has been achieved in the last 25 years to make Atlanta world class. An efficient public transport system, MARTA, has been established (at least according to the standards of the South of the United States); the Atlanta metro is included in the entertainment map; the Georgia World Congress Center turned the city into a congress center. Georgia Dome was built in 1992; and the Philips Arena was built in 1999. The dome was demolished in 2017, after its replacement, the Mercedes-Benz stadium, was opened.

From 20 July to 4 August 1996, all eyes were on Atlanta when the 10-year Olympic Games took place. The city successfully hosted the largest Olympic Games ever, presenting itself to 2 million people in person and 3.5 billion people through global broadcasting.

The Olympic Games served as a catalyst for a second resurgence of Atlanta, which is experiencing a dramatic transformation from a large American city to a larger international city, with more than $6 billion spent on development and change.

Atlanta has become an important "conference and meeting destination", mainly due to the huge airport and the favorable weather. Most of the conference venues are located near the Marta Peachtree Center in the city center, and when a big show takes place in the city, it can sometimes look like every other person in the city has a name tag.

Are you looking for antiques and art? The Miami Circle, Bennett Street and The Galleries of Peachtree Hills offer some of the best goods in Atlanta.

Buckhead has more than 1,400 retail stores. Lenox Square and Phipps Plaza offer the most concentrated collection of top-class shops in the city, including Barneys CO-OP, Neiman Marcus, Tiffany & Co., Jil Sander, Gucci, Cartier, Burberry, Jimmy Choo and Louis Vuitton.

nightlife

Atlanta is a city of music and music lovers have many possibilities to live bands.

With fun and unique attractions, renowned restaurants and first-class hotel experiences, Atlanta keeps the party running from day to night. With a chic style in Buckhead, an alternative scene in Little Five Points, a casual atmosphere in Virginia Highland, and a trendy vibe in Midtown, Atlanta's nightlife fits with any style of letting go. Since each district has so many options, you should visit each district article for a more detailed listing.

Buckhead is still the most popular nightlife district for both locals and the outside world. Aiko Lounge is one of the most popular dance clubs in Buckhead with the 1920s and 1930s singles, while an older audience can be seen in the Beluga Martini Bar. The clientele in Buckhead is mainly made up of high-class people, so make sure you dress impressively.

Midtown is the right place if you are looking for the urban atmosphere, with a diverse audience of 20s and 30s, many of them are students, locals, transplant workers from abroad and other countries. This is also a gay and lesbian-friendly area.

Downtown also has some nightlife options. Many of the city's water holes are located in Kenny's Alley on underground. The district of Fairlie-Poplar also has some bars in the neighborhood. Stats is an ideal sports bar to watch a game near the Centennial Olympic Park.

Other popular clubs throughout the city include The Masquerade and the MJQ Concourse. There are also many pubs and taverns in all districts, such as Fado Irish Pub in Buckhead, Shakespeare Tavern in Midtown and Highland Tap in Virginia Highland.

If you like Country Line Dance, you can leave the city and go to the suburbs and see Wild Bills in Duluth.

Recommended venues are:

  • Eddie's Attic, 515-B North McDonough St., Decatur, GA 30030 (avenue is upstairs). Tel: 404-377-4976, e-mail: [email protected]. There are many local musicians and the level is quite high. Opened: Mon - Fri 12.00 - 18.00. last amendment: no

accommodation

Most of the major hotels in Atlanta are located between Five Points and Midtown, in an area with an easy-to-remember name: the Hotel District. Located in the heart of the economic and political center of Atlanta, the district is within walking distance of many of the main tourist attractions, including the Centennial Olympic Park, the World of Coca-Cola, Georgia Aquarium and CNN Center.

The fast-growing Midtown, the heart of the business district of Atlanta and many luxury high-rise condominiums are close to many museums and theaters. If you are looking for boutique hotels near a thriving urban environment, Midtown may be the right area for you.

Once the heart of the nightlife of Atlanta, Buckhead is still home to several top hotels, located near the shopping and dining areas of the area.

If you live in Atlanta without a car, it is best to live in Midtown or Downtown, which offers central and easy access to MARTA. Both areas have excellent bars, restaurants and cultural attractions within walking distance. The prestigious hotels in these neighborhoods are located close to train stations and bus lines, so that the most interesting parts of the city can be reached quickly and easily. Buckhead and Decatur are other options with good access to transit, but not so many tourist attractions in the area (and in the case of Decatur, not so many hotels to choose from).

If you plan to rent an apartment, you should visit Midtown, a few blocks from Peachtree Street between Arts Center and North Avenue MARTA, and North Highland Avenue, south of Virginia Avenue (including Little Five Points).

safety

Despite the call of Atlanta, the city is not as dangerous as many people think it is dangerous. The crime rate declined in the late 1990s and 2000s and reached almost 40 years in 2005. While violent crime is still high relative to most American cities, most of the violence is related to drug trafficking and takes place in parts of the city, which visitors rarely - if ever - see.

As in any other major city, the usual precautions should be taken, such as not traveling alone at night and being aware of which neighborhoods are more vulnerable to crime. In Atlanta, the south-west and south-east have reported the highest number of crime incidents; in particular the triangle formed by the I-285, I-75 and I-20 is a dangerous neighborhood. Avoid the areas around the new Mercedes-Benz stadium such as Bankhead and Vine City. The number of car theft is exceptionally high for national circumstances. Outside the city, crime rates are significantly lower (except in Dekalb County).

One of the things that should definitely be looked at in Atlanta is the homeless. While homeless people in big cities tend to leave you alone if you ignore them, the homeless in Atlanta are known to harass people without regard for losses, especially in the city center and, to a lesser extent, in the midtown areas.
