Going to Atlanta?While there's plenty to see year round in Atlanta, some people think the nicest months to fly to Atlanta are the spring or fall. In the spring, Atlanta is just like it is pictured in Gone With the Wind, with flowering trees and gardens blossoming. Also, the weather is mild in the Spring, unlike during the summer months when it can skyrocket into the 90s, which earned the city its nickname Hot-lanta. Autumn is the perfect time to take a day trip from Atlanta to view Georgia's lovely fall foliage. Of course, winter is nice in the city too if your heart's not set on a white Christmas. And even though the summers are hot, the city is still jumping with activity and the beaches at Tybee Island near Savannah are only a few hours drive away.
Getting around in Atlanta
Once you've booked your cheap flight to Atlanta, you need to think about how you're going to get around once you're there. By purchasing a travel package that includes affordable Atlanta airfare, accommodation and rental car, you'll get the best deal on all three and have the benefit of being very mobile while on your trip. If you choose not to rent a car, however, there are still other options including Atlanta's mass transit system, MARTA; MARTA offers bus and rail service at a very cheap rate and runs all through and around Atlanta, stopping at most of the city's popular sites, shopping districts and neighborhoods. In addition, MARTA offers transport to and from the airport. Although they're more expensive, taxis can be a good option that's more flexible and personalized than taking the bus or train. For transportation that includes an education as well, consider booking a tour service. The bus will take you all around the city and the tour guide will tell you about the city's past, present and future and answer any questions you might have. Tours also are nice because you can hobnob with other tourists and make some new acquaintances.
