Within a relatively short drive of Savannah and its pleasant historic monuments and buildings, the ultra modern city of Atlanta stands as the antithesis of its neighbour. A glimmering place of high rise mirror glass skyscrapers and large urban malls where you can shop until you drop and hunt for bargains. Atlanta hosted the summer olympics in 1996, and boasts many impressive cultural sights as well as a museum dedicated to Coca Cola, the town's sweetest and most famous export.
