Getting To Know Atlanta! Hi! Last week I was in Atlanta for the first time, and I had a wonderful time getting to know the city! Atlanta is a beautiful city with many parks and green areas! The traffic jam in Atlanta is terrible, though you can avoid most of that if you plan ahead your commuting. Aside from the traffic jam, there is not a bad thing about Atlanta. The weather is good, even when it's cold. There is no need for wearing snow boots or winter coats! The food is delicious and there are many affordable restaurants, though some restaurants in downtown or Buckhead might be really expensive. If you love sports, Atlanta is also a perfect place for you! You can go to a Hawks' NBA game or you can go to a Falcons' game, if you prefer football. By the way, Hawk's and Falcons' stadiums are just 2 blocks away from each other. Both stadiums worth it to be visited! If you don't feel like watching any sports game, the World of Coca-Cola and the Aquarium are right next the stadiums, in downtown. The Atlanta's metro area is big, but there is not a broad public transportation system in place, so you might need to rent a car to better explore the city. On top of that, most of the public parking spaces in metro area cost up to 10 dollars for a 8 hours period. You should consider the parking fees when you prepare your budget to visit Atlanta. Shopping in Atlanta is a remarkable experience for those who love fancy clothes and fashion accessories. You can find most of the world famous brands in the Atlanta's various malls. I hope to get back in Atlanta soon! The city is my favorite spot in the US already! See you!
