Activities - What To Do in Atlanta
 With five professional sports teams, more than 200 entertainment and cultural attractions and thousands of restaurants, Atlanta can best be described as “exciting, entertaining and enjoyable."
Atlanta has long been known as a prime site for meetings, conventions and trade shows and is consistently ranked as one of the top five convention cities in the country. Atlanta earned this reputation with its first-class hotels, transportation and meeting facilities. Atlanta continues to host more than 3,100 conventions annually, bringing more than 3.5 million visitors to the city.
Atlanta is much more than a meeting destination. The city has developed into the entertainment and cultural center of the South with more than 17 million visitors arriving each year to experience the attractions, culture and entertainment that are abundant in Atlanta.
Why has this southern city become a hot spot for culture and entertainment? Simply stated, Atlanta has more restaurants, professional sports teams, entertainment venues and cultural attractions than any other city in the Southeast. Many of these attractions are within 10 minutes of downtown and almost all are accessible via MARTA, Atlanta's rapid rail and bus system (from the Atlanta Convention & Visitors Bureau)
