Atlanta's premier tourist attraction is the world's largest aquarium, the Georgia Aquarium, located a 20 acre site at Pemberton Place that is also home to the World of Coca-Cola and within walking distance of Centennial Olympic Park, Mercedes-Benz Stadium, State Farm Arena, the CNN Center and other downtown Atlanta tourist attractions.

The Jackson Street Bridge in Old Fourth Ward is one of Atlanta's most iconic landmarks and a highly popular photo destination for tourists due to the city's downtown skyline and major highways in the background.

Atlanta also attracts visitors with its performing arts venues, museums and historical sites, parks, cuisine, and its many festivals and events.
