Capital attractions
Savannah
State capital Atlanta is a buzzing St. Simons Island city where innovative chefs collide Jekyll Island with southern hospitality, slick skyscrapers rise from urban forest and iconic African American culture has its roots. The city spreads out from its original centre at Five Points, with must-see neighbourhoods including Sweet Auburn where Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was born and raised, now home to numerous museums and historic landmarks. Green spaces include Piedmont Park with its famous urban panorama and the Centennial Olympic Park. You can also go behind the scenes of two iconic American brands – Coca Cola and CNN.
Suave Savannah
FORSYTH PARK, SAVANNAH
56
Established in 1733 this city’s history is palpable amongst its many squares, lined with elegant houses sporting Greek columns, gothic turrets and grand staircases and shaded by gnarled live oaks. Savannah is a traditional place where horse carriages rumble over cobbles but it’s also one of the few U.S. cities where you can get a cocktail to go.
