The 10 Best Romantic Things to Do in Atlanta

The capital of Georgia, Atlanta has approximately 5.5 million residents. Unlike many other Southern cities such as, Savannah and Charleston, Atlanta has not retained its historical architecture. Instead, the city led a full explosion on modern architecture to resemble the high-rise skyline found in other major cities like New York. Atlanta has also become a prominent city in cultivating the arts from hip hop music to fine art to symphony orchestras.
