Atlanta is the vanguard of the New South, with the charm and elegance of the Old. It's a city that balances southern traditions with sleek modernism, and southern hospitality with three skylines and the world’s busiest airport. It's a city that has been burnt to the ground and built back up; seen the horrors of war; felt the pain of droughts and floods; and given birth to Martin Luther King, Jr., the greatest figure of the civil rights movement. Atlanta is the capital of the state of Georgia. === Welcome World Cup fans === Atlanta is one of the 16 North American cities hosting matches for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Games in the region will be played at the spectacular Mercedes‑Benz Stadium, located in the heart of Downtown Atlanta.
