Longer drives
Augusta, Georgia's second largest city, is just over a two-hour drive from Atlanta Airport. Here, you'll find the preserved childhood home of Woodrow Wilson, the 28th President of the United States. The Morris Museum of Art, which houses art from across America's Deep South, can also be found here.
Eating and drinking
The state of Georgia is in America's Deep South, which is well-known for its hearty, comforting home-cooked dishes. Many local restaurants serve such food, including sweet potato pie, buttermilk chicken and crab soup. Of course, you have to wash it down with an ice-cold Coca-Cola, as the drink originates from Atlanta.
Things to do
The World of Coca-Cola Museum explores the fascinating history of the much-loved soft drink - did you know the reason Santa Claus wears red is because he was being used in a Coca-Cola advertising campaign? The Georgia Aquarium in Atlanta is also well worth a visit, home to sea lions, dolphins and sharks.
Sightseeing
See the site of the 1996 Summer Olympics at the Centennial Olympic Park, which is now the city's largest park. The Fountain of Rings, a magnificent water feature shaped like the five Olympic rings, is one of the park's main draws, with a special show taking place at the fountain four times each day.
